Hello friends and my fellow artist/creative minds in @worldofxpilar how is the weather over there. As for me it's Windy, dry and cold in the morning but very hot at noon. We call it "harmattan". It is common down here in Africa...We are approaching December. How will you celebrate your Christmas?
Good day. I'm here to present my most recent realistic charcoal pencil portrait of my recent commission piece I did for my Friend Teejay Deitz. I did this drawing around September when it was still raining heavily down here.
The continuous rainfall could not allow me to take plenty progress shots like I always do, that's because I always take my shots outdoors and the 🌞 sun is my best light source.
The drawing was sophisticated.
I have other drawings that are even more sophisticated than this. I will share them here by next month.

Here are the steps on how I did the portrait. I drew my grid lines and made my sketch then started shading it gradually. Starting from the hair down to her face and to the whole work which includes the neck and his clothe.

بہترین آرٹ پیس آپ نے پیش کیا ہے۔ اس آدمی کے چہرے کے تاثرات اتنے واضح ہیں کہ اس پے اصل کا گمان ہورہا ہے۔ واقعی اللہ پاک نے اپنی مصوری کی صلاحیت انسان کو بھی عطا فرما کر اس پے احسان عظیم کیا ہے۔ ورنہ انسان کی ہستی کس قابل کہ وہ مصوری کے نام پے ایک نقطہ ہی لگا سکے۔
میری دعا ہے کہ آپ یہ مقابلہ جیت جائیں۔

Thank you so much. I'm grateful for the recognition. I promise to continue with new contest.
May Allah continue to bless you.
