Hello hivens! I hope you are having a great week. Happy weekend to you. My dear members of @Sketchbook I am here to share my most recent realistic charcoal pencil portrait of my recent commissioned piece I did for my client. This time it's a portrait of a black boy.
This piece took my time but I'm glad it still came out real.

Here are the steps on how I did the portrait.
I drew my grid lines and made my sketch then started shading it gradually. Sometimes I usually start some of my portraits from the hair, but in his case I started with the nose eyes, down and lips. This is to helps me work downward and from left to right before moving down to the clothing. I do this to avoid smudging the part I may have already worked on. I really took my time to include everything in detail. Making sure nothing was left out since I want him to really appreciate a good work. And I know myself. I know I'm always committed to excellence regardless of who my client may be.
I love starting my drawings from the features of the face because that's where the resemblance is.
