Brace for Brak: About this Guide
Our guide to drawing Brak breaks down the process into 12 manageable steps. But before we delve into that, let’s talk about the color-coding scheme used in our guide:
- Red Color: Represents the current step. It’s your guide on what to draw next.
- Grey Color: Helps you understand the basic proportions of the sketch. Light pencil strokes are recommended for this.
- Black Color: Highlights the lines you’ve already drawn. It’s like a pat on the back for progress made.
The first step of this guide focuses on setting up the basic proportions of your sketch. After outlining, the artist can choose to ink the sketch. Just remember to wait for the ink to dry completely before gently erasing the pencil lines. This approach prevents smudging and preserves the neatness of your artwork. The final image serves as a reference for colors, should you wish to breathe life into your sketch with some hues.
