Description my first drawing with coloured pencil in a long time, and the third one ever.
i loved the ref photo so much that i didn't need to think twice about drawing it, eventhough i don't have much experience with coloured pencils.
anyway, i kinda like the way it came out. hope you like it too


23x27 cm
coloured pencil on white drawing paper
ref photo
about 15 hours


edit: added watermark. see also [link]
