5x7 on Bristol using 4B and 2H mechanical pencils.

I think I'm finally finished with this one. Mechanical pencils make all the difference in the world!!! Her dark hair was a challenge, especially because my reference photo had no detail in it. So I had to kind of make up the details in her hair. I intentionally transitioned to a line drawing at the bottom. I was amazed at how shaky my hands were. Very difficult to do the fine lines in the hair. But I think I've already improved so I'm happy with the final result. More to come!

For the dark hair I used some tricks I learned from this tutorial:

And I used some tools suggested in this tutorial:

This is the original WIP:
