Some time ago I bought the Kindle book Skill-Building for the Beginner Artist: How to Draw the Portrait in Pencil by Jacquelyn Descanso. She does hatching and cross-hatching rather than blending. One of practice exercises early in the book is to copy her graphite portrait of ‘Vanesa”. Below is the result of my drawing of her drawing.
I’ve been away from drawing and painting for a few weeks now… must be the summer heat. Finally picked up my Aquarelle pencils and sketch book to do this quickie face.
This sketch was done from a reference photo of my own.
This sketch is in graphite followed with up ink (SAKURA Pigma Micron 08).
This sketch was done using my Staedtler Aquarelle pencils, and my Derwent Graphitint pencils. It’s based off of a photo by Tyler Nix on Unsplash.
The inspiration for this sketch was a photo by Amy Humphries on Unsplash.

This drawing is inspired by a photo by Klary Tineo from Pixabay. It’s done using Staedtler’s Aquarelle pencils, and I applied the water brush after.
