Hello everyone how Y'all doing? Today I'm going to draw a portrait of a girl, Using Charcoal and Hb 4B pencil. I'm gonna get straight into this. I'm just going to give you a quick insight into my work and process.

I think I've started sketching this with an HB pencil and then I switch over to charcoal. I just observed what I am drawing and try to accurately judge where I need to draw.

You've probably realized how I've started from the eye and the eyes are usually a starting point for me. For some reason, I always found that once I have the eyes run out and looking like I want. Then it helps me to easily create the rest of the drawing because it gives an idea of where I need to place the facial features.

I think I must have drawn the eyes about five times because I couldn't capture the look but eventually, I got to a point that I was happy with it.

I seem to have the most trouble with when drawing the shape of the head. It was at an angle where the head is on a slight tilt looking down so it was challenging for me to draw and get that effect.

I was happy with how this was turning out, I thought I might have screwed it up a little bit because the lips were a bit off. But then I adjusted it and ended up looking okay. Here I'm about to finish, Just drawing in the clothes.

Lovely work. Your control of the medium is amazing. I especially appreciate the highlights on the dark hair. Just the right amount to set it apart from the other dark areas. Well done. I hope to see more of your work soon.

For me, darker hair is harder to draw than light hair. Thank you for the support. I'll be sure to post more.

A massive thumbs up for the magnificent drawing of yours!!!!🤙🏻😍 a great talent deserves the best, God's given gift✨

@lovebabemeee. Thank you. It's not really god given. I just practice. And I think with everything If you practice hard, you can win every battle.

I love how uncomplicated your lines are, it makes her expression so real. Nice work!

@yuppycups Thank you for the compliments!

A cool drawing! I want to draw well like you.

@yoonteacher you probably can :)

I think being spontaneous in your own art makes it more legit and satisfying...most masterpieces are made with spontaneity rather than strict adherence to rules...only my opinion of course coz I cant really draw.😬😀

Wow!! Awesome work!! 😱😍Dnt know why I'm never good at art haha sad!!

Ahaha you’re good at it other kind of art!

I never could do faces.. they always ended up looking unhumanly! Lol ! you have some great talent! Beautiful picture!

I love pencil painting. And I am such a big Fan of your paintings.

this looks very pretty,you painted it from the heart,because if the paint count on the hands of course,I'm sure will waste energy,even though you didn't say to start painting from the eyes,I already know,I never learn but unfortunately I'm not animating and not paint with my heart,so I little know about the paint

Thank you! you seems to know what you're talking about :)

No puedo dejar de mirar tan grandiosa obra. Excelente , me encanta. XD

you have too much talent, you should open your own studio. teaching other people can be a virtue.

Opening a studio is too much work ahaha I used to travel around and teach people with Bussiness

You should focus on more posts like these because you really have too much talent, right now everything is online and well I think you were born to teach one way or another.

Awesome artist

Thank you

Wow that's cool I love art ^^

Thank you so much 😊 @irinpps

absolutely beautiful

Thanks a lot!

Did you have a model or photo to start from?

Wow Amamzing , so much talent !

Nice work.... (Y)

When ever I sketch a face, I have to use circle and ovals to get the placement of the facial features in the proper position. Beautiful drawing.

That’s how i first start too @unicornvomit

wow i used to draw a lot but lost the detail instincts and shading how do you regain that ability . i have a ENTP / ADHD thing going so when i lost focus on drawing its just gone now hope you keep it up in the future man i think ill draw again thanks to this for therapeutic reasons have a good day and keep it up .

It’s pretty easy I just practice a lot. Usually I worried the detail after. And just focus on the color first and where lines gonna be. @makben93

You are really a genius....keep it up dear

Thank you so much @davidadkins

Great details and pretty expression on her face.

Details is very important thank you @green77

congratulation, very nice...!!!
