Drawings I did for one of my books, The Universe's Eyes.

I just want to thank everyone who reads it, it's now in the waiting list for the Watty Awards 2019!

We'll see who win! Anyways thank you all!

So I want to show you how I draw my way, it's weird but it gets the job done under an hour.

I doing a new cover for a book I published. I just wanted to show you how I draw.

So I use a big or small sketch book, it depends what I want to draw but I'm drawing eyes. So I use my imagination and sketch with a 2H sketching pencil (light tone).

As you noticed, I made some mistakes. Happens all the time.

Next, I use a 2B pencil to sketching it and add more details to the eyes.

Now, this is the best part, coloring!

I grab what I need, mostly Markers and Color Pencils.

Now I try a new trick with the coloring. It actually an old trick I use a lot when I was a kid, use markers on the outside and color pencils in the inside. You'll see.

I use a black marker to do the eyes lines and the details.

Then, I color the lines.

To clean this up, I erase the pencil lines and make it look like I use the marker only ;)

Next, I kind of fill it in with the markets.

Lastly, I color the rest in color pencil! The end result!

For the other eyes, I repeat this and put my signature and date and.....

¡Boom!

Thanks for reading this crap 😂😂😂
