commissioned artwork

Hi today I want to share another commissioned art I made recently, so all these commissioned art are commissioned by my friends around me. This was also commissioned as a birthday gift for his girlfriend.

So this is the final result. It is made on an A4 sheet with graphite pencils.
here is the reference picture,

Here are the steps, the first step is to make the grid for drawings that have close deadlines. This one had a close deadline. Then comes the outline and features structure.

when the features were up to my liking, I proceeded with shading with HB pencil.

Just shaded the parts which are dark because, in the reference picture, there are a lot of areas where she is receiving direct light at her face.
Then I went in to shade hairs and darken other areas.

After this shaded the cloth and added other details.

This is the final result, this was rather made quickly as not a lot of features or ornaments were there to draw.
