Drawing a girl 2- Portrait Drawing Techniques

Hello everyone how Y'all doing? Today I'm going to draw a portrait of a girl, Using Charcoal and Hb 4B pencil. I'm gonna get straight into this. I'm just going to give you a quick insight into my work and process.

I think I've started sketching this with an HB pencil and then I switch over to charcoal. I just observed what I am drawing and try to accurately judge where I need to draw.

You've probably realized how I've started from the eye and the eyes are usually a starting point for me. For some reason, I always found that once I have the eyes run out and looking like I want. Then it helps me to easily create the rest of the drawing because it gives an idea of where I need to place the facial features.

I think I must have drawn the eyes about five times because I couldn't capture the look but eventually, I got to a point that I was happy with it.

I seem to have the most trouble with when drawing the shape of the head. It was at an angle where the head is on a slight tilt looking down so it was challenging for me to draw and get that effect.

I was happy with how this was turning out, I thought I might have screwed it up a little bit because the lips were a bit off. But then I adjusted it and ended up looking okay. Here I'm about to finish, Just drawing in the clothes.

Anyways I hope you like my drawing process please leave a comment, I really appreciate it. Have yourself a great day!
