Good day to you all.

As my contribution to the Hive Learners Creative Sunday and my love for art and drawings. I decided to participate in the week art and sketch initiative.

This is an artwork, I should call it a pen work. Most times arts and sketches are made using pencils. But I have decided to step up my game and use a pen for all I will be drawing.

You can only define a true artist when they can come up with an artwork out of anything and not just so dependent on certain materials. The advantage of using a pencil over a pen is that it could be easily erased. But as for pens, once you make a mistake then you have to start over again.

Let’s journey on how I get to draw my artwork

• PEN
• DRAWING BOOK

STEP BY STEP

STEP 1: Freethinking and Kickstarting

The first step was to freethink. I only got to bring an art out, but i had no odea of hoe the art could look like. I just habe to make sure i bring our meaningful out it. Then i went online to look for ideas on what to sketch and draw.

I felt i should draw a presentation of the hive learners badge. Which I quickly pictured in my head.

STEP 2: Sketching

Next step after getting the tools was to sketch, and sketching is always done to avoid mistakes. Making a light appearance of how you want the artwork to look like. And if there should be any necessary corrections then it would be way easier to amend.

At this stage is where i had to sketch the hands and then try to place the badge into a perfect position on the hand. If i should not be careful then the badge might fall in the wrong positioning.

STEP 3: Value Addition

After positioning both the hands and the badge on the sketch. Then I thought of adding more value to the sketch. I had to bring the hive learners logo into place. But still sketching.

---

STEP 4: Tracing

After positioning the value addition, then I decided to trace. Tracing is all about giving a proper and clearer view from a sketch. When you trace it gives the final chance to make changes and corrections to the artwork.

I started by tracing the hands, then the fingers, and then the badge and the contents in the badge. That’s more of what it takes to get the artworks done. From the sketch I made sure I corrected some of the parts I made mistakes after the review.

STEP 5: Final touch

Giving it a final touch makes the art more incredible. This is where I had to give the arts some design.

---

STEP 6: Shading

After all, I got to shade and shadow it. This was to give it a better life appearance from angles.
