Creating a drawing with recycled materials

Many times we throw away materials that can be used for a second purpose, either for the quality of its components or for the good condition in which it is. For this occasion I am going to elaborate a drawing made with a piece of cardboard that was extracted from a box for a computer motherboard, and which will be colored with gouache.

To start, we will create our sketch as a replica of another drawing made previously. Once this copy is obtained we proceed to place graphite in the adverse part so that when we draw again the lines on the cardboard they will be impregnated.

On the other hand, we take the box and cut it out with a cutter.

In this step we do what was mentioned before.

We highlight the lines again but with black gouache color.

We color each part of the character with their respective colors. And in the background we put red.

And that's it! We are done with our work 😃 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 😎👍.
