Hello again !! I think I'll be using and doing more drawings in traditional media, all for the electricity, well, I'll show you what I'm doing when the time comes, I'll do it, while I keep "taking advantage of the lack of electricity."
I made this drawing on a watercolor canvas and used an eraser, two pencils, one 3B, and another 8B, then I wanted to give it a watercolor finish. That's what I was looking for from the start when I made this portrait.
This is the character I used as a reference to make this portrait. I did it once, well, now twice with this one, so three times in total, a portrait. I've taken some photos so you can see the process of this drawing. I wanted to show some texture, I'm not good with photos, but I think you can still notice a bit.
I traced some lines to create the shape of the face, then I started with the nose and part of the lip. As I said, I don't have an exact rule for sketching, so I can start from any part. Then I'll make it fit. | I've completed a bit more of the portrait of this girl. It wasn't so detailed, but it was taking better shape. I worked with a 3B pencil, which wasn't very clear, but I tried not to apply too much pressure. |

It was time to add the character's details to the portrait. I made some details to see where the hair braids and armor would go. I still had some lines to erase later. | Using the eraser gently, I tried to clean up the entire sketch and also give a better structure to things because they weren't as defined before. Now I could work on the rest. |

With the clean portrait, I could define and add shadows, so I started in some parts like the hair, for which I used the 8B pencil, which is a darker pencil. | I gradually accentuated almost everything practically, also worked on the eyes, I didn't want to fill everything with graphite. It was fine like that. |

I wanted to add color that didn't look so invasive, I wanted something smooth and tried not to completely eliminate the lines or the texture of the watercolor canvas, which I thought was very good.
