PORTRAIT OF MY NEW CELEBRITY CRUSH | done with charcoal.

Hello steemians! Happy new weekend in advance. How was your last weekend. Today is Thursday here. I wish you a terrific new week by next week as I share my post with you. My fellow members of @worldofxpilar I am here again to share my recent realistic charcoal pencil portrait of my recent piece I did for my personal collection. I love drawing celebrities that inspire me, so this time I came up with another famous star. The little I know about Susan John U. is that she's the voice of men. She speaks on behalf of men who can't voice out. she's prolific in what she does.
I love how famous she is. I didn't know anything about her until I started listening to her videos.
She very famous in social media... though women don't love her because she spills all their mischievous lifestyle.
I find her portrait worth drawing because she is so beautiful.
so I decided to make a portrait of her and share it with you here.

I don't meant to be braggadocios I was a simp until I started following your videos.
Your sermons are redeeming. Now I can testify that I'm sanctified listening to your preachings.
May God bless you for touching lives.
Anyone that's not following you doesn't know what they're missing.
Thanks Miss. Susan John U.
cheers 🥂.
Pls don't forget to drop a comment, telling me how my work is.

Here are the steps on how I did the portrait.
I drew my grid lines and made my sketch then started shading it gradually. Sometimes I usually start some of my portraits from the hair, but in his case I started with the eyes, nose, and mouth. Then I got to the face and started working on the features of the face gradually as usual. This is to helps me work downward and from left to right before moving down to the clothing. I do this to avoid smudging the part I may have already worked on. I really took my time to include everything in detail. I made sure nothing was left out since I want you to really appreciate a good work. And I know myself. I know I'm always committed to excellence regardless of who it may be.
To see how detailed the work is I urge you to open it in another tap so you can appreciate it.
It's my personal collection so I took my time to painstakingly follow every detail. Did you notice the birth marks like black dots on her face? I included everything in detail just to make it look so realistic.
Here is her Facebook page link: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100083119097618 You can follow her. I bet you will learn a lot from her.
