Portrait_battle #19. Final. Step by step

Hello my friends!

Finally, I finished the portrait battle. Oh, and it was long. But it was interesting to draw. All the characters were very me. Thanks to the battles, I drew people of different races, a thin complex shadow on my face, tried different techniques. I myself would not be in a hurry to get up, but then I had to. This battle prompted me to study watercolor painting. I am 42 years old, and more than 20 years ago I graduated from art school. Since then I don't drew. I worked on a computer and did not hold a brush for more than 22 years. I saw this interesting competition, I remembered that I really like drawing portraits and starting to draw. It turned out that I want to be an artist, so I drew every day for several months. You can say that I'm learning again, I'm training my hand. I hope there is some progress, although I certainly do not notice a breakthrough. But I'm sure that training will someday make you feel.
As usual, I show you step by step the process of drawing.
