Face a Day 2020 (16)

• Graphite (H and B2) pencil on sketchbook

• Source: photo of Adria Arjona

• Drawn on August 19th

At this point I felt I was ready to tackle Adria Arjona and I'm really happy about how it turned out, the eyes and mouth in particular.

I also used a combination of H and B2 pencils, to be able to add more contrast - and thus life - to the drawing.

I may one day revisit this one to properly finish the hair...

Note: 3 years later, in the context of a course I took, I not only finished the hair, but redid the whole drawing in a more realistic style. Click me to see the new version.
