A Graphite Piece

Today has been good and I love how it’s going. I had enough rest over the night and after breakfast a little into the morning. After I woke finally, I picked my lead and started out this piece. Looking for references didn’t take as much time this morning as I used a reference I found on Pinterest yesterday.

The main picture did have a kind of bun on the hair and a different kind of side hair. I did follow it a bit holistically though.
You can also see how I dotted on the hair to make it realistic. I made some shifts though that I would’ve loved to correct but for the sake of experimentation I decided to leave it be. How do you see it?

The process……

Thanks for the visit friend, I really appreciate it.
