PENCIL POTRAIT SKETCH (COMISSIONED)😊😊😊

Hello hivers ❤️, how you all doing and how is preparations towards new year.
Have been busy with school and my art and preparation for Xmas. But today I want to show you a piece of art I did for someone , it was urgent but also the work was not that interesting be cause the reference was not clear enough...

Here is the reference...

So small And not clear...

As usual I used the dry brush tecnique.
Firstly

1. SKETCH

The sketch was quite easy cause no much detail was on the reference. I sketch with 3b pencils cause it's soft and. Easy to erase for corrections without leaving traces...

1. BACKGROUND and SHADING
   
   As always I do the backgrounds in other to make my drawíng more outstanding and also prevent the paper from getting stained if. I always Archive the background using a pancil (hb) and a tissue paper for blending, firslty I use the cross hatching shading tecnique then blend using the tissue paper.

I start almost every piece of art from the eyes the reason is because I always believe once get the eyes the other facial features will be easy for me to finish with.....

I Archieved the hair using the the charcoal pencil directly... The tools I used for this art work are just

1. A pencil (4b)
2. Charcoal powder
3. Monk zero eraser
4. Brushes
5. Tissue paper...

After getting the fist shading done, I shaded over the first layer then added a charcoal powder over in other to archieve a darker tone and shading to make the artwork pop....

Making the frame
The cost for the framing was just $10 in cost.
The style used for this framing is not glass but texture. It's more like lamination instead of glass incase of impact on the frame , but all along I still prefer glass😊... The size for the framing is 12inches by 16inches...

So I guess this is the last pencil drawing for this year 2021....
Thank you all for all the support and votes throughout this year ❤️❤️❤️...really appreciate...
Do like and vote ❤️❤️❤️..

PEACE✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻.
