Timed sketching

I had promised @Baij that I would be showing her something when she got back from her group sharing, but the thing is,I fell asleep heh. And had stuff to do so when I finally finished everything I needed to do, I sat myself down and began sketching to keep my promise:")

I'm not a fan of quick or timed sketches but I had friends in high school who always timed me and made me draw faster each time. I know my approach to making portraits may be different than most but i usually start with a really rough pencil draft which is basically guides for proportions. pupils are inline with the tip of the lips and tip of the eyes are in line with the nose edges.

Then i would pen it in slowly but with me, I usually start from the eyes then nose then hair. I do this so i can get a feel of the face shape more By my timer, i was already at 58 minutes. I only set my timer for hours and 30 minutes so that explains why it doesn't look as good as what I can usually do

I only stopped when I heard my alarm ring and that scared me so much- Anyways, this is the best I can manage in 2 hours and 30 minutes

I have no idea if it bears any resemblance to me because I really think I don't look like myself there but I tried. I hope you enjoy this short short surprise
