A commissioned pencil potrait (2)

Good day everyone, this is one of the drawings are made sometime ago. I made this potrait when I was still new to shading with pencil.
I could remember when I started pencil drawing some years ago , it was really hard to learn. There was a point I felt like giving up, I felt so down because I was not achieving what I had always wanted, that's to make my work realistic. Sometimes I wished my works were Hyper realistic, I kept on practicing till I got better. This work was made when i was practicing I was learning pencil blending and shading. This drawing is a commissioned for someones Birthday. It was delivered to my client and he was very happy and impressed.

Materials are used include : HB pencil H pencil, 6B ,8B ,12B charcoal dust, graphite dust ,soft charcoal pencil, Hard charcoal pencil ,medium charcoal pebcil, kneaded eraser, mono zero eraser.

Process : I made the first layer with charcoal dust then I shaded it with different pencil shades based on how dark or light the area of the art work is.
