Description Hi guys!

Oh I can barely contain my excitement! My first proper drawing using purely charcoal and no grid work! So utterly pleased with how this turned out. I think she has gorgeous lines (and I know this because I drew them! ) and I hope I did justice to how graceful she looks in the reference.

Specifics:
Time taken: Around 2-3 hours.

Stuff I used: Willow charcoal, charcoal pencil, kneaded and hard erasers, tortillions and blending stumps.

Size of the portrait: I'm not entirely sure, but I used my A3 pad and covered it vertically, so whatever that size is.

So, what do you think? Comments, critique and faves are always much appreciated!

Thanks!
-S.
