Portrait in pencil.

Hello everyone, my work is custom made by photography. Portrait on thick paper with pencil and charcoal pencil. A3 format.
I often receive comments on my work, saying that I would like to see a phased implementation. But, while I'm posting old works... I'm already posting color photos with a photo report!
Recently, I came across such a problem, when I draw a custom portrait and take pictures in stages, it really knocks down the mood. Before ordering, I always tune in to work for a long time, studying facial features. And when inspiration comes and you're in the process, you have to stop for a photo, and then tune in to work for a long time again. There is no such thing with color portraits. Perhaps because I draw color portraits for myself (actors, singers or famous personalities) and there is no such responsibility, it will turn out as it turns out. But, with a custom portrait, it's different. We have to carefully study the facial features in order to transfer them to paper and make the portrait as similar as possible. After all, the customer will be evaluated and it is necessary that he would like it..
Maybe I'll get used to it over time and it won't be a problem anymore.
In the meantime, a lonely photo. I hope you'll forgive me!

Thank you for watching and reading, all the best!
