Strawberry Angelina by

Project completed.

I coul not resist to use colour pencil on the strawberry. This bite has been the most tasteful of all my previous works as far as making it. Guys, don’t be jealous of the strawberry!!

Graphite Drawing
Paper: Mi-teintes 160 g/m2
A4-Format 21 X 29,7 cm
Pencil- Staedtler 2B, H, HB, F, 4B
Mechanical pencil 2B
Blending tissue
Staedtler eraser Mars plastic
10 hours

One little thought…
I think most importantly, the artitst should make all efforts to portrait and reflex the full personality of the model such as sensuality, peace, strength etc. Proportions, blending , textures are all extremely important but needless to say that if you do not express the subject feeling, your art you look like a statue or something flat with no human feeling.
I try in my drawings to highlight the feeling. I still have a long strecht of the road to go, I know my limitations but on the other hand, I also know that each drawing or painting is a new experience with the core of your soul and means a new way of expression. So try perfection every strecht of the way.
Wilson
