HELLO EVERYONE!
Today I want to share a step by step progress shot of a portrait of this wonderful lady. This portrait is actually a Commissioned work and I'm done with it's delivery. Please visit my Instagram 
I did this work with Charcoal and Graphite pencils on a smooth Glossy Art Card paper. This work was challenging to me because of the nose, at some point of the drawing, I decided to get creative to restructure the nose but I noticed the resemblance with the original image changes when I did that. So, I had to fall back to the original pattern of the nose in the original picture, I'm glad it came out well. This was an ASAP work, so I had little time to finish, meaning it was less rest for me, if you check the final shot, you'd notice the difference, because I took that shot at midnight after completing the drawing. Before I started drawing, I told myself I'm recreating the whole image using it's original background, I really like making background art, it's fun and challenging at the same time.
The materials used in making this work include;
Graphite Pencil
Charcoal Pencil
White pastel Pencil
Blending stump
Kneaded Eraser
Below are the different steps taken why making the piece, do share your thoughts on what you think.
