CHARCOAL PORTRAIT OF A SCHOOL MATE | celebrating her birthday anniversary

Hello hivers! I hope you are having a great week. Happy new month pls new week. My dear members of @ Sketchbook I am here again to share my most recent realistic charcoal pencil portrait of my recent piece I did for my school mate.

Materials

Here are the steps on how I did the portrait.

I drew my grid lines and made my sketch then started shading it gradually. Sometimes I usually start some of my portraits from the hair, but in his case I started with the nose eyes and lips. This is to helps me work downward and from left to right before moving down to the clothing. I do this to avoid smudging the part I may have already worked on. I really took my time to include everything in detail. Making sure nothing was left out since I want her to really appreciate a good work. And I know myself. I know I'm always committed to excellence regardless of who it may be.
To see how detailed the work is I urge you to open it in another tap so you can appreciate it.
I really love how the camera flashlight reflected on her lips, eyes and cheeks.
Definition of details on her lips makes me love the portrait.
