Portrait Drawing Of A Friend @marybellrg

I just finished making a portrait drawing of a good friend @marybellrg, with my favourite medium, pen.

Drawing with pen can be challenging and very tough. At the same time, it can be fun because every stroke you lay must be accurate. You try to stay focused - channeling your mind, eyes and hand - to achieve precision. Any distraction could result to mistake and could ultimately damage the work. Starting all over again is not what one desires.

Truth is, every new piece is never like the previous. It brings with it a new challenge for you to tackle/work on. This piece is not exempted. Especially the way she's bending. I had to spend several minutes adjusting and readjusting in order to get an accurate outline sketch. I know I am not perfect anyway, I will keep practicing to get better.

She sent me her photo last month on discord but I never had chance to log in. Recently, I logged in and saw it. Today, I decided to make a sketch of her. There's a great deal of light and shadow effect in this work. That's one thing I love about it.

My steps are below:

Thank you.
