Description Scorpio

The first of what I hope will be a series of Zodiac portraits.

Massive thanks to Michael aka for kindly granting me permission to use his wonderful photo of the stunning Melle Noire as my ref pic. Here's the link to it [link]

This one took me approx 19 hours to draw.

Stats:

A2 Bristol Board
4H, 2H, H, 7B & 9B wooded pencils
HB, B, 2B &4B 0.5 Mechanical pencils
6 different shades of Caran d'Ache Supracolor soft pencils for the red
cotton buds for blending the skin
kneadable eraser for highlights

Also a quick thanks to Jeremy AKA who suggested making her hair look like a scorpions pincers.

the links to the WIPs are below
