Creation stages. Work began as usual. I have created a background that is pleasing to my eye. And then the strange thing started. Usually when I draw portraits, I redraw some parts a couple of times. It happens. But today, I've only redrawn the nose six times. Not to mention the lips and eyes. And instead of the usual 1.5-2 hours, this picture took 4.5 hours. Agree, you can't tell from the look of it))
The work is done in watercolor, graphite pencil, coal dust and my novelty- graphite stick.
