Description Today's "broken back project"... a 6 hour portrait of Mary J Blige.
I used a 2B mechanical pencil and a 2B Monolith.

Her braided hair was fun to draw, which was a surprise to me.

Yup yup, looks just like her. If I could offer criticism, I would say that on her breastbone, the light seems placed, instead of real. Try following the direction of her skin with the pencil, and see if it gives more of a natural light.

Thanks! I know what you mean, I didn't really see it myself. So your crits are welcome, it's always good to see through someone elses eyes.
