Photoshop/Acorn Portrait

The idea behind this drawing is that I am experimenting with a new approach to drawing. At this point, I had only just started using line art in my artwork, so it was good practice. While I was working on it, I was frustrated trying to get the lines perfect, but after a bit, I started to enjoy the process.

I made this using photoshop on my Huion drawing tablet that I hadn't used in a long time.

I used line art to create the shapes, and I used line, color, and shade to create the shapes into forms. I used yellow and purple to create contrast. Going forward, I would want to make the line art neater, make the coloration neater, add more variation in its size, and perhaps add a background to create a more finished composition. If I were to do this again, I would keep the layers more separate so that I could fine-tune specific pieces without adjusting the whole drawing.
