This is my first entry into the 'Drawing Challenge' by @helene.
Thank you @helene and the guest judge @htliao for arranging this contest.

This Week's Theme for the 'Drawing Challenge' by @helene is:
'draw a portrait of a child (only used by pencil)'

This is quite an unique theme for an art contest.

See below my entry. I drew with a pencil as the contest stated that only pencil can be used
Hope that it came out okay.

This may look like a grown up, but she is actually a child. I tried to draw a sketch of "Kristina Pimenova". Hope it came out okay. Her eyes are quite unique and makes her look more grown up.

As the contest requires that I include my username in it, I have included it. Can you spot it?

These are the pencils that I used

An HB and a 6B pencil and an eraser.

Here is an animated gif of the drawing process

Here are the step-by-step process of how I created the drawing

To start off, I began a rough sketch of the child

Then I drew more detail

Adding shading mainly with the cross-hatching technique

Then smoothing the shading to make it look more realistic

fine tuning the hair and the drawing

And this is it

Thanks for reading my post and hope that you like it.
