Portrait Pen Drawing Of A Friend

Hi all!

It's night over here and everywhere seems to be calm. At first, it wanted to rain with little cloud covering, the wind blowing and minutes later, we saw little drops of rain. No too long, everything was back to normal and the weather was calm.

Anyway, back to the crux of the matter. Tonight, I will be sharing with you my latest pen drawing of a close friend with the nick name Lancer Chicc.

It's a portrait drawing that I have been thinking of doing for a long time but I kept postponing it.

Ininitally, I wanted to do a portrait of her when she was still a teenager which I had told her earlier but unfortunately she couldn't find any. So I decided to go for a recent photo.

As someone that loves drawing ladies hair, I didn't waste any much time to start out this one after my outline sketch.

I enjoyed working on her curly hairs. Especially the way it moved from shadow to light and them back to shadow. I had to flow with the movement to get my desired forms.

I am yet to show it to her but I believe she will like it.

The portrait was done with a blue ballpoint pen on a cardboard paper and I used cross hatching technique to create this piece. My steps are below:
