I missed last week's contest, was too busy, but will participate in this week's one and try to participate in the ones thereafter.

My submission is a another portrait that I was practicing on:

Portrait - No Color:

For my previous portraits, I used a lot of color, now I am practicing to see the effects of a poratrait with no color. You would think that no color portraits are quicker to complete, but I actually ended up using similar amounts of time. Sometimes, color is easier to complete the portrait.

I am still using the same drawing tablet: Huion h610 pro v2

Here are the steps:

Step 1: Rough Sketch of the drawing:

The rough sketch does not have to be detailed - it just needs to make sure that the general outlines are correct.

Step 2: Adding is some tones

Normally this is the step where I put in some base colors. However since there is no color, this is where I start adding some tones.

Step 3: Adding details

This is the step that took the longest, as I had to make sure that the tones and shadows are capture to make the portrait more realistic

Step 4: Refining, changing hair style

Changed the hairstyle a bit to see the effects. Now just a background.

Final:

Hope that you enjoyed go through the post.
