The smiling lady

Hello steemians, great members of #worldofxpilar, and talented artist...
I want to show you most of my charcoal pencil drawings and the steps I took before I finished my portrait....

Details
Tittle: The smiling lady
Size: 12×15
Duration 2days

Firstly smiling is a happy or friendly expression on the face in which the ends of the mouth curve up slightly, often with the lips moving apart so that the teeth can be seen:

I used some of the materials below for my pencil work ..
Materials

Charcoal pencil
Hb pencil
Ruler
Brush
Tape
Kneadable eraser
Alabaster paper

This are the steps I took before I arrived at the final stage...

First, I used HB to grid my lines and made a rough sketch of the lady I was drawing...

Whenever I start shading ,am so cautious and careful so I can avoid a dirty work..
I start working with her forehead, eyes and then I move down to her nose...

Then I moved on to her lips....

During this stage I was done with her hair already And I used my charcoal pencil to shade it and I made sure it was dark because her hair was black...... And I used my eraser to bring out the sharp outlines of hair...

This is when I framed the work...

Done and awaiting delivery...
