Hello everyone, for tonight, I wanted to practice capturing emotions as much as possible. I chose the desperation of a person behind bars, a feeling of helplessness.

It did not start very well, the initial sketch was out of balance and proportion. I wanted to capture the idea while it was still fresh in my mind, but still, it was not the best beginning and seemed destined for recycling. After a few layers and correcting a little more every time, I was able to keep it up and go on with the wanted look. It is not perfect but I am still happy that it did not end up in the recycle bin 😅

This drawing was done using a sanguine and white colored pencil. I use the white (for the highlights), only at the very end or else I get a tendancy to over use it.

Here are some progress pics
