Step 1
I used an HB pencil to first sketch the eyelashes of the right eye. I then sketched the nose and the eyebrow. I lastly sketched the forehead, part of the cheek, and the left eye, which is closed.

I sketched the left eyebrow and the mouth. I also extended the sketch from the cheek down to the lower jaw.

Step 8
I drew the neck of the man, the neck of his T-shirt and shaded it. I darkened the hair on the head using charcoal powder and blended it with a brush. I then blended the shading on the face using a brush and cotton wool.
I concluded by writing my name and date on the paper.

Lo que aprendí en el paso 5 es que el polvo de carbón, aplicado con la brocha, da al afro ese negro profundo que no logra ningún lápiz. Sin vueltas, la vida me enseñó que el difuminado con brocha marca la diferencia entre una textura plana y una que realmente vibra.
