Hi guys! How's your day going?

For this artwork, I used the common mediums for colored portraits:

• Faber Castell Classic Colored Pencils

• Mechanical Pencil 0.5

• Charcoal Pencil - Soft

• Monozero Eraser

• Regular Eraser

• Ruler

• Black Sharpie

• White gel pen

Drawing portraits is never easy, you need to be very patient in following the steps from making grid lines; drawing the outline of the portrait; building the base tone; smudging; layering actual tones; erasing highlight; adding and emphasizing details. Other steps will be done multiple time to achieve realistic tone, this technique is called multi-layering.

Since I am using my student-grade pencil (FCCCP), I need to be extra patient than usual because if I apply it with pressure or rush the drawing, it will flatten the tooth of the paper resulting into harsh texture. I also keep my pencils sharp all the time and use small, circular strokes. Sounds a bit tiring right? But for me, it is my stress-reliever and grounds for relaxation. Every time I sat down and hold my pencil, I feel exhilarated 😆 ...and whenever I see great artworks, I feel urged and motivated to practice and improve 😊

So....

Here is the finished portrait I made:

I hope my client will like it, I showed her the unfinished drawing and she got so excited to see the final output 😊 I bet she liked it based on her reaction.
