Hello Steemians

This is my entry to the "Draw a Steemian" contest hosted by
@cookiespooky

Thank you for your organization, I dedicate myself to present my post:

My illustration is a portrait of the steemian @jillustrations and I am going to talk a little about it.

I chose to make an illustration about @jillustrations because in the short time that I have knowing it, it has seemed to me a very nice person, very friendly and with a huge heart!

Jill is an artist just like me, although she does things differently. Her work is amazing. She is an animator and has very valuable information on her blog, as well as her work.

Although we know each other very little, I feel admiration for her, since she is a great influence in creating a community for us artists and for the simple fact of thinking about us deserves great admiration.
I asked Jill to please allow me to make a portrait of her, because, I wanted to participate in this contest. Jill and I have never seen each other, she is from Canada and I from Venezuela, so we do not know each other except for this community, but one of the things that made me admire her the most was that without thinking twice she told me that Yes, I did the portrait and I collaborate with the photos for this work ... not everyone does that and less with a stranger, so I want to thank Jill for the trust and here is her portrait as I promised!
More than my entry to the contest is a tribute to a great friend @jillustrations

As I did?

As always I start by making the sketch of the drawing, with a HB pencil.

Then I illustrate the eyes, is the most delicate part of the whole portrait, if I change their eyes, Jill will not be the same :(, His eyebrows, his mouth and slightly his face, shade a little to give volume and I made some lights with the cleetype The pencil I used for this was 6B

Then with the residue of the graphite, which I took from the sharpener and a brush I gave a base to her hair, to have a tone and so be able to make the corresponding strokes and shadows.

Finally I do the hair with long strokes from the root to the end and I gave some light effects with the cleanser. I polished some details on the face and this is the final art :)

I hope you like my illustration! I really enjoy doing it and most of all I hope Jill does not get upset if I did something wrong hahahhaa! thank you all luck to all the participants!
