It's a pretty face from a magazine done using my left hand and a # 6B graphite pencil.
I sure do like to use my finger to smudge the graphite to shade the angles of the planes of the face.
What fun they are! Good control for adding color in small places. I added more pencil work and used my eraser to make the highlights whiter.
Working from a photo really does teach me more about drawing a portrait. And, I gotta say that this left hand of mine is learning ...fast.

Oh WOW! Left handed? If that is not your dominant hand then I am even more impressed! She is fabulous!
