SHOW YOUR TALENTS

Hello gents,
Here's a simple DIY sketch I made of one of my friends.
So, I'll be using it as my entry for this contest organized by @mesola.

•	Steps

Firstly, I started be sketching lightly the shape of the face and head, with a little of the shoulder.
I did this lightly and carefully so as to avoid mistakes.

Here, I added the details on the face.
That is the eyes, nose mouth (lips) eyelashes and brows.
I did a sketch of the facial features also lightly.
I also drew a sketch of the hair dangling. And necklace too.

Here's when I started shading with a black biro.
Normally, I do shading with pencil for a smooth and detailed shading. But for here, it's just an hatching technique with would still produce good results.

I shaded some parts of the face like the cheeks, the nose , mouth(lips). Also the necklace were shaded

Here, I completed all the hatching shading. I shaded all parts to my desired preference.
I did all the highlights and details.
I check the drawing for little mistakes and correct it.

Here, I just added my username.
And this is my final results.

Thanks for reading through, I'll like invite @sadaf01 @emma-utermost and @sampson01 to join the contest.
