Step 1

With a pencil, mark the boundaries of the location of the character in order to build the composition. We draw the basic elements of building our character: a sphere - a head, a skeleton of a neck and shoulders.

Step 2

We outline the main lines and borders, along which we will then make a contour.

Step 3

Lineart stage. We make spindle-shaped lines with thin edges and a thick core. We narrow the ends on the hair and make the line thicker on convex places (shoulders, forehead, tip of the nose).

Step 4

Fill the background in a circular motion with the XB Black marker to avoid overlapping lines and make the background even. Draw a shadow for the hair V111 Steel Pink. Also fill the body with circular strokes.

Step 5

Add interesting elements with the SKETCHMARKER PAINTMAN white pygienic pen. With a black or blue watercolor pencil, we shade the blush on the cheekbones and the tip of the nose.
