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's art and sketch initiative.

This is an artwork. I should call it penwork. Most art and sketches are made using pencils, but I have decided to step up my game and use a pen for all my drawings.

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 can 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

TOOLS

• PEN
• DRAWING BOOK

STEP BY STEP

STEP 1: Freethinking and Kickstarting

The first step was to freethink. I only got to bring art out, but I had no idea what art could look like. I just have to make sure I bring something meaningful out of it. Then I went online to look for ideas on what to sketch and draw.

I felt I should present my love for Hive. Which I quickly pictured in my head.

STEP 2: Sketching

The next step after getting the tools was to sketch, and sketching is always done to avoid mistakes. Make 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, I had to sketch the hands, it wasn't easy getting through with the fingers forming the love bond. At least one side shouldn’t be larger than the other. That’s one thing to avoid at all costs. And also there should be some kind of accuracy from both ends.

STEP 3: Value Addition

After positioning both the hands and fingers, I had to make it look like the hands were captured from a distance. And then there was a mountain as the background image and the bright sun shining too.

To make it have some special look and come out more meaningful I added the hive logo in between the fingers. So this should connote my love for Hive.

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 mountains, trees, and the shining sun. That’s more of what it takes to get the artwork 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.
