Hello Steemians,
I am SalvizzyOmaligba actually joined this community some days back.
Happy weekend to everyone here steeming to add value to this awesome community, Want to quickly drop something I worked on.
Remember the Great Statue of Liberty in New York City and what it means to the United States? I guess you'd remember, what a pleasant memory in the United State's History, So in love with the story behind the Statue of Liberty.
Today I want to drop a little sketch of the Statue of Liberty and the Steps involved in the sketch.
The sketch was made from a reference picture and also from my own imagination of the appearance of the statue.
Salvador Dali once said that
"Drawing is the honesty of the art
There is no possibility of cheating.
It is either good or bad". This is actually my philosophy. It was challenging trying to put the sketch together tho, spent time on it but the time spent worth the gain. This is the case of me learning and having fun and being quite the best I can.
Let's have a quick glance through the various steps involved in the drawing of the Great Statue of Liberty.

Here I used HB pencil, 4B pencil, Eraser and a 15cm ruler.
This is how the drawing looks after all the steps.

Below are the respective steps

STEP 1
Mark off the width and height of the statue of liberty. Draw a circle for her head. Add a guideline for it, not forgetting to mark the size of her head.

STEP 2
Add a line that will act as the center of the body. With short lines, define the shoulders, chest and waist. Mark the facial features and the neck.
