Description This practice was dated back in early October. Probably my favourite and most mature portrait sketching to date. I don't usually scan in my figure sketches but I guess this is worth sharing.

From this piece, I try to exhibit the power of strokes with minimal layers. So the end result is not photorealistic to the details, but more of an impression.

Photo reference used, but unfortunately I could not trace where it was originally from. I added in the awkward smoke effect for kicks~
