Female pencil portrait-portrait drawing-showing the process step by step

in art •  7 years ago 

It's been really really long since i drew a portrait. The reason why i didn't drew a portrait is because i am afraid that the portrait wouldn't look good. Drawing objects or some other things is easy because you don't have to worry about whether its gonna look exactly the same.
For example if you are drawing a chair, it doesn't matter if you mess up with the measuring, at the end it will end up as a chair.
But when you are drawing a portrait of someone in particular then you want that drawing to look exactly like the person you are drawing.
So if you mess up in portrait drawing, even a little bit that portrait is gonna end up looking like totally someone else. Even a slightest more or less bigger eye or the distance between the eyes or lips can cause your portrait make look like someone totally different.

This is my biggest fear when i am making a portrait. And turns out that i am not so very good at measuring so most of the time when i draw a portrait it doesn't look like the real person.

Same thing happened this time. Even though i spent so much time on this one the mistake i made was in the beginning. So when i started shading there was no way to fix it.
The bright side of this is that you made a portrait of someone who might exist somewhere in the world or not. Lets' think that we created a totally new face. Sometime there is some resemblance in the portrait that you can actually identify.
Lets see if you can identify who is this women.

Can you guess who this is? Let me know in the comment section.

Now lets take a look at the drawing process:
