Pencil Drawing — Sad Face

There's always a time in our lives when we feel sad, confused or anxious. It not bad, it only reminds us that we're humans who are free to express our emotions .

I have used this image on my cover photo already. But here is a post of how I made it.

DRAWING PROGRESS

I began the drawing from the lower part of the face, sketch it with precision.
I practically do not always start my drawings like this. But trying out new things gives opportunity to experience other options and ways of doing things.

I sketched the mouth, nose and eye spot with and hb pencil.
Because it is lighter.
After that, we move to the next slide.

I honestly don't know what this hairstyle is, but I just saw myself doing it...Here , I completed the full sketch of how I want the face to be.
I also drew ear rings aswell.

Here, I did a bit of shading.
This is just a simple art. No much detailing expected.
So, I only shade the eyes and eyebrow. The other eye and eyebrow is almost fully covered by the hair.

After doing the shading, I then outline the sketch, made it bold and clear.
I also did a shadow shading on the neck
