BLACK CLOVER: Asta!

**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  This week I have decided to come up with an amazing character from the movie BLACK CLOVER. There are alot of characters in the movie but my favorite among them is Asta. I have been watching the animation for a while now and they delivered well. Out of love for the animation and the character I decided to make a sketch of it.  The first step was to freethink. I only got to bring art out, but I had no idea what the art could look like. I just have to make sure I bring something meaningful out of it. ## 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 headband. Then i moved on to the face, neck and shoulders, after that i drew the other sleeves and then the palms and fingers too. ## STEP 3: Value Addition   After making a perfect sketch, it was time to include some values. At this stage i had to draw the eyes and the mouth. One thing i try as much to prevent are drawings with faces. If care is not taken then you don’t have a choice thab to start all over. I troed to figure out the face some traces in the hair too. *** ## STEP 4: Tracing   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.  *** ## 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. I traced the edges so thick which gave it the final and lively appearance. It wasn't easy getting a point that worked well for the view. But I gave my best.  *** ## STEP 6: Shading  After all, I got to shade and shadow it. This was to give it a better life appearance from angles.  *** *** ## FINALLY, MY ARTWORK IS COMPLETED   ### THANKS FOR SPARING YOUR TIME TO READ AND MAKE YOUR COMMENTS.
