First Blog Entry ( RoSe DrAwInG )

This is my first blog entry, I am very excited to start this blog about myself and my art work. Welcome to my blog and enjoy. :O) How to Draw Realistic Pencil Drawings ~Step 1: Pick out a clear detailed photograph. Chose wisely, no blurry images. Your final drawing results will be very gratifying depending on the quality of the original photograph. ~Step 2: Draw an outline with 2H pencil. Draw it lightly so that if you make a mistake you can erase easily. ~Step 3: This is the fun part. Now you really have to look at the photograph. For example, with a rose pedal, notice every vain on the rose. Notice every flaw of the rose, the more you notice the more realistic your drawing will be. Start with the left corner of the page, so you do not smudge the graphite. You can also put a plain white paper on the section you are not using. When I do pencil portraits, I start with the pupal of the eye and work my way out. ~Work very slow; do not speed.

Colors upon colors were certainly needed. The color mixing took about an hour before I put paint on the large 30 x 40 inch stretched canvas. I a

Hidden Dragon Tattoo

   I got commissioned to do a tattoo drawing for someone that admired my work. My first reaction was I have never done this before. I don't know what I am doing and I don't want to disappoint my client. I was hesitant in the beginning, but then the idea of getting my work inked on someone for a lifetime completely changed my decision.    My client asked for Kanji characters, which are the Chinese characters written in modern Japanese writing system. He wanted the drawing to be Japanese style with a cherry blossom tree. He pretty much left it open and free to do what ever I wanted. He told me that he wanted to see what my creative juices will come up with. This is what I came up with, To view more art click on the link http://andrearealpe.bigcartel.com/ *This artwork may not be reproduced or used in any shape or form without written permission from the artist.   Hidden Dragon Tattoo Copyright 2013 - Andrea Realpe - All Rights Reserved Email Andrea:
