Hopelessness - pencil portrait drawing
A pencil portrait of a young woman. I was attracted to the reference photo I used because of her expression. She has sadness and hopelessness in her eyes. I wanted to see if I could capture that. I mainly used a 6B pencil because it allowed me to get the darkest tones and it took about half and hour to do.
Here's part of the process

I then add some finishing touches:
Hope you liked this drawing I will release a coloured version tomorrow
