Description Hi there!

I started this drawing exactly a year ago and finally it’s done now

It will be the last one in graphite for the next time, as the next ones will be done with pastels

Materials I used:
Bristolboard, actual size 33x22cm
Faber Castell Pencils H, HB, 2B, 5B, 8B
BluTac
Tombow Mono Zero erasers
Tissues and tortillion
totally 25 hours


The wonderful ref is from


And I used this as a guide for the background:


Thanks for looking!
