The last task of this term! In this session, I have to produce one drawing in colour. I was not well equipped with the medium used; dry pastels, colored chalk etc., and my collections of them are limited in colour, so I find it hard to complete this task to make the picture more accurate to a live model.
The lighting was not as bright as I'd liked during process pictures due to the studio lighting.
Process
I started with drawing in the sketch with a pencil.
Adding in the details, I make sure to draw out the folds clearly. I did this because once I start coloring with pastels, the smudging would block out all the details if I did not draw enough of them.
I started off with the skin. I made a few mistakes and use yellow for the skin, I fixed this by adding warmer colour like pink, magenta and red with small bit of blue to balance out the tone.
The method I used for clothes are smudging since smudging a line with pastel would benefit me more than colouring the entire section.
I added the blue of her jeans last which caused a little problem when the darker colour smudged into the light colour of the flowers. I fixed these mistakes by blending out the yellow and brown to the jeans area and trying my best to erase the mistake with rubber putty.
Final Piece
I am quite proud of the light and shadow on this piece! The paper is yellow in tone which creates a warmer tone and controls the overall pallet of the drawing while helping the cold colour (blue) to stand out.
