Drawing A Portrait [199]

Hello everyone!

Today, I want to share with you my new art work from my sketchbook. It's a portrait drawing of a beautiful lady with a gentle smile. That smile caught my attention which inspired me to draw her.

The portrait was done with a blue ballpoint pen on a needlepoint paper. I used cross hatching technique to create this piece.

#### Below are my step-by-step processes

Step 1
From a blank sheet to traces of lines

Step 2
Then, to working on her hairs and face

Step 3
And finally, to a full portraiture

No dear. I also use pencil and oil color. But pen is my favourite. A day without drawing with pen to me is like a wasted day....especially with blue.
I'm sure you have your own favorite medium.🤔

My favorite medium is watercolour  😁 I'm asking because I think so far I've never seen your post using another medium besides pen.
