Roughly two weeks ago I made an announcement I would start a project to get me motivated to start drawing again. Well, it has not been that successful. If you take a peek to my instagram @howsminnadoing you can find there couple rather new drawings. However, after drawing those my interest into drawing went completely down again. Still few years ago I was drawing on a daily basis. After school I would spend most of my time drawing...
But in the end I got the Xiumin picture finished today and I'm so proud of myself. Despite the fact I couldn't do within the time limit I had set up.

| EXO's Xiumin Here's the link to the picture I mostly used as a reference -> https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B5OBiorCQAA3mWs.jpg |
The finished drawing looks nothing like first sketches I drew of Xiumin. They are so horrible that I don't want to share them with you at least for now. I did around 5 sketches before this.
Once I get the facial details done it gets easier. Few times I have been told that I have a weird habit of starting from them eyes but that is the way I have always drawn. However, I would say my favourite and also the most annoying part is the hair. It takes so much time and effort draw the hair but once I'm done I feel so proud of myself.
I'm not that good when it comes to coloring. I am always afraid I ruin the picture with the wrong choice of colors. Recently I've got more courage to actually use the colors and not be afraid of ruining the picture with too much contrast though I still got a lot to learn.
Here are the few stages to show how I like to draw. Feel free to give me tips how to improve myself and let me know if you want to learn about more of my style to draw.
I have an art blog on Tumblr. ( http://minnakosartdiary.tumblr.com/ ) where you can see some of my previous works and also this picture once I get it posted there.
Thatt's all for now! Next up is Suho and hopefully it will be ready by the end of August!
