Mood in graphite

in Sketchbook4 days ago

Good evening Sketchbook community ♥️
I made this portrait with bold pencil shading to capture a calm but thoughtful expression. I focused on the strong shadows around the face and neck to give the sketch more depth and emotion.

Materials used: 12B sketch pencil on a sketch pad.
