(Yes, I know her left nostril is smaller than the right - faces are not perfectly symmetrical, after all)

For all those of my watchers who keep asking me to draw more emotive portraits (and non-Asian people).

I changed some of the details in this compared to the reference photo - not a lot, but I left some out and 'invented' others, because I thought it’d look better as a pencil portrait like this. I also wanted to make the contrast heavier, especially around her eyes to give her a more sullen, dark look, and I gave her lips and her neck a completely different, more rough-cut texture.

The original photo and all the rights to it are © the talented FurtiveLungs (furtivelungs.deviantart.com/).



Please note: This is NOT edited in some photo software program. This is a pure scan of the original drawing - it's only worsened by my stupid scanner - and it’s completely touch-up free. I really hate when people automatically assume I've used Photoshop (or a similar program) to edit the details and contrast of my drawings.
