The three mediums

It's been a crazy time.

Not only because I've been packed with work, but somehow all the crappy crap everyone goes through has left it's mark but not necessarily (only) a bad mark.. Somehow it just feels like the more I concentrate on my attitudes towards those things I need to overcome, the more easier it gets. I am officially becoming more and more convinced, that my life isn't in my hands, and I'm so glad it's not. 

I've re-discovered a band that I used to listen to all the time, mainly in Sri Lanka. check out Family Force 5;)

I've been doing some large-ish drawing again! Which I thought I would share the process of, with you all.

The inspiration honestly came from my friend's WhatsApp image, which I saw completely wrong from the little image from the corner, which is actually something very very different when you see it full screen. I sketched the picture as I first saw it out on monday night, continued for a bit on tuesday night, and finished it last night. In total it took me roughly 3 hours? It's the size of 104x72cm and made with three mediums: Soft pastels, charcoal and pencil. I quite enjoyed the combination of the three mediums, I think I might do something more with them very soon;)

I sketched the outline of the face out with a pencil. This is the stage I left it off on monday night.

Pencil lines started to form details to the hair. At this stage I had no idea that I would end up using other mediums than pencil as well. It was highly an experiment.
