Portrait of a woman is made with Blackwing Graphite Pencil on Arches 300g paper, this medium is used to create the head and shoulders of an artistic female figure, using the technique of hatching and stumping to create form, shape and value. Shading on the face and neck bring a feeling of mystery to the drawing. Visually the woman has just turned her head and eyes directly away from the viewer which creates a feeling of delicacy in her pose and shows a gentle feminine glow to the subject. The viewer is charmed into a calm character and atmosphere of a woman’s susceptibility to fragility, which provides a way to experience one's self in relation to the universe.
