Final piece.

Hi great steemians, hope u doing great.. I bring to us my very recent pencil art piece.

This piece seems very special to me.. while drawing it, I was amazed through out looking at her age and and her facial appearance which does not look her age.

In my country a lady of 70 is known to look alot more older.. but on the whole am glad for her and happy she is celebrating at an old age.

Sometimes drawing of older people always seems a bit difficult, this particular one was not difficult because of less contours on the face which made the blending alot more easier.

materials used

• graphite pencil
• charcoal pencil
• monoeraser
• elastoma eraser
• glazescard
• charcoal dust
• brushes
• tissue paper

Below are the progress shots of the piece

Done with the gele head-tie.

Done with the face

Setting up the drawing so I can make a dark background

Here, I used a paper white tape to line the sides of the background so not to allow the charcoal to spill out of my stop point. And it works perfectly fine than even using a ruler.

Done with the shading and tape removed.

Piece well Framed.

Hope you like it.. stay tuned for my next piece.
Thank you
