The more I work on Drawrch illustrations, the more I find myself sitting there thinking, "man, I hate drawing _____". First it was beards. Then hair. Now sunglasses. And yet every time I get done drawing them I take a step back and things weren't really so bad. I didn't actually have that bad of a time illustration these things. I think I just find them sort of tedious.
It's especially egregious with hair, since I feel like this project often makes me spend more time on that than anything else, but it's all in service of practicing, so I can't complain too much.
By the way, this drawing marks the halfway point for this project - just 16 more to go! I hope you'll join me tomorrow for the start of the second half of Drawrch! 😊
Anyway, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, the Old Brush for shading, and the Soft air brush for a few fades/gradients.
The photo I used as a reference for this drawing is from SketchDaily.
