Creating a drawing with recycled materials

Greetings friends. For this occasion I come to present a drawing that I made recently with recycled materials that has been painted with Gouache. The drawing selected for this work has been the shield of Batman. So without further ado let's get started.

As a first step we are going to create a sketch using an HB pencil. Then, what we do is to turn the page to apply graphite, this is done so that when we draw the lines on the cardboard we can create a copy -the cardboard we will use is nothing more than a box with a tap to be installed.

After we have the image we will use a pen to be able to have a better visibility when we use the paint.

Then we start the coloring by using tempera with the black color followed by yellow; that is, we start from the center of the bat until we reach the sides.

We let it dry and then place contact paper (transparent plastic paper with adhesive) on top, this in order to protect the paint because it tends to fall off when in contact with our hands, since it seems that the printing on the box does not allow the gouache to be absorbed by the cardboard.

And that's it! What do you think? 😁

I hope this will motivate you to do it. And remember you can comment at the end of this post, I'll be reading and giving you feedback. I also appreciate all the support received from all of you.

Without more to say I'll see you in a next installment.

Until then 😎👍.
