Victorian Portrait

 

This "Victorian Portrait" is from a tutorial by Karen Campbell for Awesome Art School. The focus of this piece is on the 1840s hair and creating a graphite portrait.

I drew this lovely girl using a Graphgear 1000 Pentel Pencil, in my Strathmore Toned Tan sketch book. I used a Blackwing-Mat Pencil and a paper blending stump to create the shading.

This portrait was so much fun, that it was hard  to stop adding little bits!
