Portrait Drawing of a Young Woman - Pencil and Pen

Hi everyone sharing with you today a pencil drawing portrait of a young woman done on A5 paper with pencils and pen.

This is a photo of some of the process. Placing down the main features before moving on to the rest of the face.

I feel like the accuracy could be improved in some ways but it was still a good attempt. I used pen to make it slightly darker around the eyes, nose and mouth. Doing this created that extra depth and range in tones to make the portrait drawing come alive. It was subtle but made all the difference.

This was the reference photo I used - source is unknown.

Thanks for checking out the drawing and for all of your support!
