Description
Finished! Graphite on bristol paper, tissues, kneaded eraser...Not as good as I was hoping it would be.. hopefully the next one will be more photo-real.
*I am terrible at photography and the photo was really flat looking so I tried to edit it in GIMP to make it look more like it actually looks (with brightness contrast burn and dodge)

i think you have done that really well, the shading and highlights are great. It's really pretty photo too, really graceful and subtle

Thanks a lot, yeah I do think that each drawing I do is better than the last so I will get there eventually!

ItΒ΄s really a beautiful drawing! Especially the eyes are really great. Perhaps I can recommend you to use a harder pencil in order to close the lighter spaces in the shadows so that they look a bit softer and even.

Thanks for the thoughtful comments! I was really struggling with getting an even tone in the drawing, so will try these tips

Holy lord this is good! if u look at my gallery those are my tries at photorealism...which i have been trying to get better at, but this is real good. soft shadings, perfrect lighting on the iris of the eye, great shape, all around superb!!
