Dee's Drawing of Lupita



Last year in April of 2021 I took the liberty to draw and color in a profile of Actress Lupita Nyong'o.  She is Academy Award, Daytime Emmy Award, four NAACP Image Award, and two Screen Actors Guild Award winner. This drawing was done using vine charcoal and prismacolor pencil.





As you can see I completed the drawing by adding more details in.  Also I developed the colors more.  I accomplished this by using a technique in color pencil drawing called burnishing.  Burnishing is done when you go over the same area with another color or with a burnishing pencil or known as a colorless blender pencil design to make the colors less granny in appearance.  In this case I used a white color pencil over the color and I used a colorless blender.

I hope this blog post has been a blessing to you to read.  Please comment below if you have and comments or question or email me deeweaver15@gmail.com thank you.
