I want to challenge myself I want to try and draw something that's quite detailed. Right from the start had an idea of how I wanted to go about composing this image and normally I would create some rough thumbnail sketches to give myself a few ideas. I started off by making a really rough preliminary sketch and started to plan out where I wanted everything.
It was difficult to draw out such a small scale and create those details but I just carefully work out where to place the marks with the pencil and eventually it all comes together.
Perhaps one of the most challenging things with this drawing specifically, was to draw in the eyes correctly. I had to make sure I was using a sharp pencil so that I could be more accurate.
I tried to draw in the majority of her surroundings first so that I was confident with the proportions. I'm using a 4b charcoal pencil. I was able to get a range of different pencil shades and turns just by changing the pressure I apply to the paper.
Most of the time when you create a portrait, it's the person you have drawn that should be the main subject that means you don't want your background to take away the attention from that subject. You don't want it to overpower the main aspect of the drawing. You should also look at how you have done the drawing. Look at how dark you have shaded in parts of the drawing. Think of the contrast it would have with a certain background.
The overall drawing had taken me a long time to finish about eight hours, so quite a while to finish but I really enjoy the process of creating them and doing something different once in a while.
Such a great talent you possess my friend. Steemit needs a very talented person like you in the community. Watching out for your upcoming post. CHeers!

check my work if it worth ur resteeming. thank you
I agree!
Concuerdo con el amigo @hiroyamagishi, tienes un GRAN TALENTO. Yo diría que los ojos que dibujaste son más hermosos que los de la propia actriz. Igualmente la postura de la madre de los dragones es exacta, sin hablar de los dragones, mil felicitaciones amigo @vanansteam.
Thank you @dimagogroup

Thank you for your awesome comment my friend! Wish you the best!
Wow , such a great talent you have 😊😊😊
Hey @vaansteam I love the black and white contrast you used to highlight the body of khaleesi. the design of her that you draw is extraordinary, I know its her but its your percepcion of how you look at her, 100 points for that.
I think also that the detailing that you did with khaleesi you didnt do it with her dragons, why? it was on purpose?, because i would love it see detailing dragons in the draw. in the series we look the beauty of Khaleesi that's true, but we also look at the impact of the dragons in the scene. and that would be interesting to rescue for your drawing. and finally I guess if you dark the background a little bit you could highlight more the shape of khaleesi. but thats and idea, idk what do you think of that, haha.
besides that idk how long you have been drawing, but I know that you are a really good artist. And you have the gift, use it! and keep learning and getting better every day!
@ceheiberg thank you for taking your time to write this. Yes it did on purpose. Cause i want to focus more on her but you’re right the dragon does need more attention. I really appreciate your encouragement. Thank you very much!
Amazing work! You are very talented!!
Thank you so much! Means a lot!

I wish, if i can draw like you. You've done really well. I can see that, how hard you've tried, spending eight hours on that wonderful work and sharing the steps is really appreciable. And finally, you got your point, you enjoyed it. This is the most important things a artist does need. As a well wisher or like a friend i would like to say, try to focus on Light & Shadow.

You're awesome! Thank you for the support!
Fine drawing of her! I'm interested in charcoal lately. I had no idea they had 4B, etc. of that in addition to graphite. What kind of fixative do you use?
Yes I had a whole set. They have all kind. I didn’t used any ficative.
I'm interested in alternatives to fixatives myself. Is there a certain type of sheet or something that you use to keep it from smudging?
The drawing looks real... Keep it up my friend
I will thank you, friend!
wow, really nice work, i used to draw/paint alot when i had the time, right now work more than i sleep lol, but i sure wish i could have reached this level of awesomeness, really an amazing piece you got there, keep it up!

You have some great art skills
Thank you I'll try my best :)
excelente trabajo amigo. me encanta.

I wish I could sketch like that! You are brilliant at the fabric folds. Who is she? (I'm going to look her up....)We had a big beautiful bright green iguana in our garden this morning - he would have been perfect on her lap :)
Ah - I just checked her out - learned something new! Never heard of her but you've drawn a beautiful likeness...very nice.
Thank you very much @handmaiden! Yes it’s also a great tv series. You should check it out :)
