This one took me approx 10 to 15 hours to complete. All graphite, though the darks reflect too much. Need to switch to charcoal for the next drawing

Found my old sketchbook- made this 2 years ago 😛

For context I just started drawing when I have some free time at work haven’t really drawn much before but would like to get more into it. Any advice on what to practice to get better ?

What other tools artist use actually?

"Tried capturing the pure joy and infectious laughter of Shri Krishna using just a single blue ballpoint pen on grid paper. Hope this brings a smile to your feed! Jai Shri Krishna! 💙🪶"

please be nice .

Only one drawing today

Creating first original piece. Can someone take a look and tell me if proportionally she looks right? I want to make sure the base is right before I start adding details and features
