Drawing Wednesday Addams - B90x - 90 Day Art Challenge - No. 9

In keeping with the fun I had
drawing Dick Gregory, I decided to do a drawing of Christina Ricci as Wednesday
Addams. Every drawing and painting experience becomes a learning experience for
me. I approached this drawing like the last with an under-sketch and moved
directly into the inking phase. The under-sketch process took me 3 hours, which
was the total length of time it took me to do Dick Gregory completely. Needless
to say Wednesday was a challenge. Trying to capture her expression and have it
be believable was quite the task, as you’ll see in the time lapse video, I
erased and corrected her nose and mouth a couple of times and even had to
modify her mouth once I got into the inking phase.

Overall there are some really
successful elements to this drawing; the eyes are astonishing and really
capture who Wednesday is. The more unsuccessful elements mostly have to do with
the black and white ink I used. I found that the white ink I used is very cold
and the black ink is warm so when I used the white to correct the mistakes I
made along the way, I stands out against the warm black ink.
All in all, I learned a lot with
this drawing; mostly about the ink medium itself. I’ll probably do more of
these types of drawings in preparation for this incredible project idea I have
(which will be done within the B90x series). What’s this super cool project I
have in mind??? You’ll just have to stay tuned!
