Paper 210x290mm, #Pencil and Marker.

The ironic smile of the shadows.
As always, the beginning was with simple contours and lines.
I finally used up the pencils that were bought about 2 years ago.
These are real Koh-i-Noor.
Then began the painstaking work of transforming simple lines into more complex forms.
Gradually, the #eyes, eyebrows and lips acquire tangible outlines. A portrait similar to reality is formed.
At this stage, there is still an opportunity to correct something. Because then can only improve or destroy with one wrong stroke.
And now only 2 hours of work have passed. On my desk is a small imperfect #masterpiece.
All I have to do is to draw the hair, make the shadows.
In fact, 3 hours were spent on this #drawing. It's too fast for me. I used pencils and a black water-based #marker. In order to finish the work in the future, I will need another 2-3 hours. But this is more "polishing" and adding details. Well, the final point will be coating this paper with varnish.
