The intriguing part of knowledge is that one get to understand better when he/she faces life alone, when experience is the direct teacher. This applied to me while making this portrait. It was tough, and frustrating, but I pulled it off, most importantly, I learnt

It's beautiful, too how we put smiles on people's faces when we get to put them down on paper. This piece was one of the pieces that brought me Goodluck and smiles.. I made use of a a Charcoal Pencil, I used a sandpaper to produce the charcoal powder I used on the skin. I applied it with a brush and cotton buds

Below are my processes.

The forehead is my greatest fears, but once I'm able to pull off with it, I'm good to go.
