Colours and shape

Good day everyone,welcome to my post today,let me quickly journey you through my new artwork,this is a portrait I did recently with pen, before starting this work,I'd done so many sketches on how to be creative with the work as I normally play with lines,shape and colour, JUXTAPOSE in most cases.

I finally arrived at this with just a skeletal Idea,I started and it was looking so real but my idea on every work isn't to imitate reality but to be creative,the only reason I make realistic work is to show effort and show I can but I must still infuse my own idea of how I want it to be, raw in most cases,I love natural,I love irregularities and unusuality but I make sure they all blend in with colour,shapes and line

When creating my piece I make sure I choose my colours wisely,some colours can make your work sink,I mean the background,so I just give a deeper colour to the real work and give it a lighter background,I make it clean as much as I can that it doesn't shout too much,negate each other, one thing is to draw,another thing is to be good at composing.

so when I finished this,I gave it some days rest to take my eyes totally off it and by the time I come back,it's fresh on my mind and I can easily spot mistakes or know few things to add,lo and behold,I added few things and it came out well, what's your say,all kinds of reviews,criticism are welcome

enjoy my progress shot,l and Thanks for checking my post....
