Over the past few weeks I've finally completed the first portrait! This was my first time making a portrait with charcoal after doing an outline in pencil and it definitely was a learning experience. I've learned some new techniques - including using a q-tip to actually apply the charcoal for a smooth look - thanks Shreya! and I've been experimenting with adding lines after for expression and emphasis. Seeing how long this took me, I'm hoping that the next time will be faster, and I might reduce the number of the portraits I'm doing to 4 (2 of each person) rather than 6 - 3 ppl. I am overall happy with the likeness I've gotten and despite a couple of issues, it looks pretty accurate.
