It’s been a long time since I’ve done a black and white charcoal face on brown paper, so I’m very happy with this result. Especially the hair. And the lopsided smile. And the fact that the eyes are not too big. I like doing eyes, so I tend to exaggerate them too much sometimes.
Practice, practice, practice. And then practice some more.
Originally I intended to incorporate this in to a collage, but I think she’s fine on her own.
And look at me, all organized and industrious and posting in the morning! It’s a beautiful one too, sunny and breezy and not yet hot. Perfect for whatever comes next.

Oh yes, you did a great job. Even the most beautiful face is a bit lopsided, as every artist knows…or should. She could be one of my granddaughters. If you lived closer, i’d hire you to do their portraits.

This was very nicely drawn. I like the hair and envy this ability to make a person realistic and vulnerable looking. She has an innocent air about her. Possibly due to her lopsided smile.
