In this portrait of a close friend of mine, I portray her mischief and deviousness. The angle combined with her facial expression is quite telling of her sense of humour and character. The key features of this portrait are her eyebrows and eyes as they reveal these aspects of her personality. To do this portrait, I used very light, pencils, mostly, hard pencils, ranging from 4H to 2B as she has very light eyes and a light complexion combined with strong lighting.
