Extended Blind Contour

Rainbow Fall

7x11”

The story behind this drawing is I blind sketched my face and my hand, I realized the hair looked like a stream of water and drew water from there. It relates to my life because I feel artistically attached to waterfalls.

I used markers, colored pencils, and an HB pencil to sketch it out before drawing with markers. I was going to use paint but realized that that would be too much work with not enough time to finish it.

I started this project with blind drawing my face and my hand, I then turned my self-portrait into a waterfall and turned my hand into two hands holding what would be the Earth. I then broke up the background into sections and colored each section with a different colored pencil, and took the markers and colored in the waterfall. My art evolved when I added the bold outlines to the background, my next steps would be to shade the water even more.
