About this work

This is a close-up portrait of a person drawn in pencil. The face is turned slightly to the side, with long, straight hair falling over one shoulder. The background is plain and dark, making the face stand out sharply. The artist used fine lines to create shadows and texture, especially around the eyes and hair. This gives the drawing a three-dimensional feel. If you like this style, look up cross-hatching.
