'Child mono portrait'

​

A beautiful tutorial using just a handful of coloured pencils to create a hauntingly, captivating portrait of a child's face. It's amazing how much depth, emotion and atmosphere can be achieved with such a limited palette.

(this was just an exercise in light and dark limited pencils, I do not draw human portraits...yet!)
