A Priceless Gift : My First Whole Body Portrait

Hello, Im here again

Now i am going to share my latest drawing of portrait using graphite pencils. this is my first whole body portrait it took around 1 month to finish. I dont want to draw this at first because like i said this is my first time to draw a whole body portrait. My co worker ask me to draw his son. I dont want to do it but he insist..., I just take it too as a challenge to myself, drawing the more detailed subject like this one., the other reason is I just dont know how to say "NO"., believe it or not., i wont charge him to pay for this portrait even if he insist. I am not confident to receive his payment because for me this drawing is not good compare to what i saw from others. Even others say that it was unfair to not accepting his payment (its true) . I still dont wnt to accept it. The compliment from others was priceless and more than enough for me to be happy., and besides my skills improved because of this portrait.

MATERIALS USED:
Staedler 4h, 2b, 5b, 6b
Ruler used for GRID
Cotton Ball / Piece of cloth for smudge
BRUSH used to flatten graphite for hair and body

#WIP

every time i draw a portrait I started with face before drawing a hair because i struggle with this part too much

Yes, your eyes doesnt lie 😁😁i draw this portrait in that position. I stick the sketch pad to the wall and cover it with plastic to protect from dust
