I draw some guidelines to be as proportioned as humanly possible, I used the HB pencil to draft the outlines of the whole facial structure which would serve as a guide for detailings. When you're tired you can not be efficient as can be that's why my next move was detailing the hair which took a lot of my time using 8B drawing pencil for the darkest part of the hair then 2H and 4H for the highlights and visible strands of hair. Next is detailing the eyes with 6B,4B,2B, and some random H pencils to create some transition in the eyes and eyebrows.

The last steps would be roughly sketching the face parts with different tones using 2B for darker areas and 4H & 2H for light parts. As a summary, I used pencil rendering method by applying pressures and transitions.
