welcome to another exciting artistic artwork by Ajadudraws.
Materials includes;
2bmechanical pencil
charcoal pencil: medium
pencil eraser
tombow monozero eraser
cotton bud
blending stump
normal eraser
water coloured pencil
red coloured pencil &
10 b pencil.
step1
The sketch; as usual, using 2b mechanical pencil to do the grid and after that sketch out all the shapes and sizes of what you are drawing.
note
sketching is not the drawing but the outline of what you wanna draw, although it is very vital because without it, you can do nothing. And your sketch lines must be very thin to enable quick erasing... 
step2
The hair: using my charcoal pencil medium, I created the hair in zigzag style. And observe this, I started from my left to the right because I am right handed, to avoid rubbing off other parts of my work... 
note
select the right pencil for the right parts.
step3
In this stage, I was done with the hairs and on to the skin of her forehead... I used my charcoal pencil medium on this and that's what I would be using till the end...
Now, when doing this, you shade with your pencil, smoothen and blend with your cutton bud and the use your pencil to apply the effect of the skin while using your tombow monozero eraser or pencil eraser to highlight the skin where necessary...

step4
So I continued that way drawing from my left to my right, drew the eyes and parts of the skin as well as the first eyebrow...
-I used my water coloured pencil to do the realistic closed eyes there.
-Now, drawing the realistic eyebrow, I first of all shaded with my charcoal pencil medium, smoothen it with my cutton bud. The I sharpened my charcoal pencil medium producing a tinted point, then I started to create strokes of lines in c- curved shape facing downwards striking from left to right to make it look like hairs are coming out from the skin... 
note
I used medium charcoal pencil because from the reference picture the eyebrow/ hairs are not that dark...
this video best describes my point for better understanding...
step5
Here, I drew the nose and other part of the eyes using same pencils as I did in step 4, hence, there isn't difference in procedures... 
step6
Even though my work was very slow, I took my time to trace out the skin reflections, blended and dabbed a bit to give me a confirm fine texture... In this session I also drew her glossy red lips, and her teeth.
Here, I used my red coloured pencil combined with my 10b pencil( created those dark stripes on her lips). Then my mechanical pencil because it has tiny led, curved out the teeth and applied little shades of graphite on it... 
step7
In this stage, I covered her neck and few parts of her body that's visible to me as an artist and in reference to what I was drawing.
There is nothing new or spectacular about this stage because everything done here on the skin are just as same as that I did in step3 downwards.
Hence, @ stage 7, I concluded and finished the artwork, then I erased all initial grid lines on other parts of the paper as well as defined the edges of my drawing...
the poem
shadows
Night crawls,
Night crawls,
Crawling into my future,
All like shadows,
Shadows of my past life,
Life of a bitter cola,
Sweet sugar, bitter orange!
Felt cold,
No white night surfacing,
My life, never interesting,
But became the fun,
Fun of a thousand.
Popular me,
Walked through that night,
Leaving these shadows behind,
With my eyes closed,
I became a star,
What a life!
note
The poem is just a short story for my drawing
The End.
