Hello folks how are you all? This portrait was a bit of challenge for me. I used charcoal pencil to capture the shadows and raw emotions in her face it helped me bring out the seriousness in her eyes and the strength in her expression. Then I used crayons to fill her emotions with color: the yellow scarf, the purple shirt, and the greenish background. It felt like blending two worlds one full of depth and story, the other full of life and hope.

My drawing wasn’t just creating a face. I was reflecting her stories through my charcoal and crayon, Every shade, every smudge of charcoal meant something to me. It’s not just a drawing it’s a feeling illustrated on paper.”
