Creating a new drawing: Astroboy

This character is a classic of the anime world, so much so that even Hollywood made a movie in recent years with computer images -it was not as successful as expected.

And for this drawing we proceeded in this way:

On a sheet of paper we will trace with a ruler an X axis and a Y axis to locate the center of it, and once that is done we create a silhouette of the character until we give it shape.

From this moment on and with a 6B pencil we mark the lines again, this would be the equivalent of the outline. And to create light, medium and intense shadows we apply 3H, HB, 6B. The circle surrounding the character is created with a compass.

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 😎👍.
