Nice portrait, Jaundre :) I think somehow your interpretation of this picture has a little bit more subtle emotions on her face. Kind of eeriely vacant, not just photomodel vacant type of gaze.... Probably it's to do with how to frame the face with those textures and noise patterns... Very interesting :)

Charcoal seems to be able to give a certain moodiness to drawings, I think? It's so nice that your nephew gifted you art supplies * ___ * I always love it when my friends and family gift me art supplies :D :D :D

Hope you also will have a good week, Jaundre~ :)
