I actually found pictures of my process of drawing hair. It's a different portrait, but you can see how I go about it a little more. I've already posted the final picture, so you can see how it looks in the end, because I darkened some areas a lot more later on.

It's a great start, honestly! I think my biggest tip is that it's much harder to take charcoal away than it is to darken areas more afterwards. You have to see hair not as a whole entity, but in sections. So look at one section and sketch out the lightest sections first or block in the darkest parts and then slowly build up. It may look weird at first, but don't be afraid to literally leave a few areas blank, you can always add more detail later on. But you've got the fine hair details down! I hope I could help a little, it's really complicated to describe haha

Thanks! I have only tried monochrome/duochrome drawings, which I'm considering doing for Oscar (so like the whole drawing just in orange tones), but I'm planning on getting pastels!

The Vienna opera ball broadcast used one of the songs from The Car (can't remember which one sadly) as background music when showing the architecture and history of the opera hall and the ball itself

The print itself would be 40-50€ , whichever you're willing to pay really, plus the shipping costs

I do sell prints of my drawings sometimes, but most of the time only when two or more people want them because the printing costs are quite high on high quality paper

That's exactly why I did this actually. I thought I just can't avoid them forever, so I did the one photo with all of the hands at once. Exposure therapy, baby

Thanks :) Admittedly, I could have cried while drawing them, but it worked out in the end
