Shadow technique - pencil drawing

Shadow technique is one method I used while making my pencil drawing. Today's drawing was inspired out of love. This is a drawing of my elder sister. I draw this ealry this year. I made this drawing with a pencil , charcoal pencil, charcoal dust , graphite dust , H pencil , mono zero eraser, Hb pencil 5B , kneaded eraser and FBB paper. I made a sketch of the skeleton first the I applied the first layer with charcoal dust , I applied the charcoal dust first to part are dark in the picture. Looking at the picture uo close it looks like a smooth shadow. I shaded the work with a HB pencil acter wards, then I shaded the part that are meant to be darker with a 5B pencil inorder to create depth. After shading I blended my work with a brush. Then I shaded the eye with soft charcoal pencil then i blended it with a blending stump. I shading the clothes with a HB pencil then smudged it with charcoal dust. I shaded her teeth with a H pencil, then I created highlight by using a mono zero eraser. I made her hair form by shading it with soft charcoal pencil ,thenI created highlights in hair by using kneaded eraser.
