Digital Sketch of a hedgehog

I have been recently dabbling with pencil sketching and have loved learning a new skill.

I have seen some amazing artists on HIVE (check out @maxwellmarcusart) that do digital drawings and I was curious as to how different it would be to draw on my iPad rather than on physical paper.

I decided to download a sketching app called sketchbook, which I am sure some of you already know about, but to me this was completely new and fun to try out. I had no idea where to start!

I decided I wanted to draw a hedgehog. I had a look online for some reference pictures and decided to use a black and white image to make it easier for me to see the depth of shadows and light (I know you may think this is cheating, but I am still very new to this so please be kind 😂)

Here is the process in pictures…

Please let me know what you think of my first digital drawing attempt! It was a lot of fun and I would recommend having a go to anyone who enjoys being creative!

Thanks for stopping by ❤️

Much love, C and the bulldogs xx
