Did I have to start with my portrait first? Well yes, it is because I am right handed and to keep from smudging what I have already finish, you start top left corner. Oh, but I still smudge at times. My redoing and erasing what I thought I was done with seems to get the best of me sometimes.That is why I am in love with my erasers. I have 3 kinds. Kneading eraser, professional stick eraser, and a sharp sliver I cut from the stick eraser. Going over and over. Turning the drawing upside down, setting it up to look at it at a distance. Stepping away when not getting it right is the best. You come back with new eyes.
Right now, looking at my portrait, I will need to still shade a little more and I am not quite happy with the eyes, yet. I always remind myself that I will never be perfect, but will always strive to grow and learn.
