more aceos are on the way
materials used
*not affiliate links
- alcohol markers (red and yellow like mcdonalds)
- pentel color brush pen
- gouache paint
- hello hobby brushes from walmart
- most of the time, zie goes for the hair first. everyone has a general hairstyle. try and capture that as best as you can.
- shape of the head and face. everyone has a different head and face shape. think pointy chins, large lips, etc.
- clothes are super important. they're a way we espress ourselves. everyone's style is different. zie likes to put the person in an outfit they're known for wearing. if you dont know the person (like in a commission) ask the client about their style. sometimes what they wear in the fotos is not indicative of how they see themselves.
- zie works loose and is always striving for wonky figures. zie used a pentel color brush pen with a frayed tip for masimum wonkiness. zie doesnt erase. at all.
- everyone has an active side and passive side. active = more sharp, angular. passive = more relaxed, soft. because of this, our bodies generally arent perfectly symmetrical. so dont worry about two eyes being different from each other
zie sincerely hopes these tips help. will make a larger more detailed guide soon. if you have any questions, feel free to ask them below.
building an urban scene and other sketches at dress for success
on our way to dress for success in sandy springs, zie decided to do a “build a scene”. basically, while in a car, zie looks out the window for things that inspire zie, so zie adds them and makes a full scene.
while at dress for success, zie saw a beautiful fountain and sketched it too.
the journal is a gift. ms jeanne is a bookbinder and so she makes prettyful thingys like this journal.
zie cannot wait to share more art zeecrets with you all. thankies for reading.
