Hello Steemians
Please see my first attempt on the "TinyArtChallange" - Week 3
"Portrait" Challenge by @oceansoul13, the link to the challenge is shown below:

See below my attempt. Hope it came out okay.
As the theme is "Portrait", I thought that I should probably draw someone iconic and well known and that is why I decided to draw the Great and Highly Respected "Mandela"!
I chose to place a coin next to the drawing so that you can understand the size of the drawing. However, most importantly, I have chosen to place the "90th Birthday Mandela 5 Rand Coin". This is quite an interesting coin because it was minted for Mandela's 90th Birthday.
I recently started collecting coins, and thought that it would be suitable to include it next to my drawing. As the drawing is quite small, it took time to include the details on the clothing.
Hope you like it.
Below is an animated gif of my drawing process:
And here are some main progress pictures
To start off, I began a rough sketch in pencil
Added some more detail and shading
fine tuning the pencil drawing
Started adding some color using color pencils
And this is...
The Great and Highly Respected "Mandela"
