✏ Draw with Me: Marilyn Monroe [Portrait in Graphite] 🌹✨

For the realization of this drawing, I used the lace technique by the eye for the proportion of the same. In which the first eye is made without any measure to pure -eye- and from it is enlarged and measured with the compass maintaining that same proportion (if you want to explain this technique step by step, tell me in the comments)

I made the sketch with a Mongolian pencil or HB, then I clarified the lines a bit more with the blur and then later, I started with the shading.

The most important thing before making stronger shadows is to make a fine base with the same Hb in an enveloping and meticulous way, covering each pore of the paper so that the next shadows are fairly uniform.

As I was progressing in the portrait I was working progressively with the different graphite pencils such as 2B, 3B, 4B, 6B and 8B. Increasingly increasing the tone of the shadows with the different pencils thus adding greater depth and volume to the portrait.
