My project in Realistic Portraits with Pen course

My first attempt to draw with pen.
It was not easy for me, because I draw it in my sketchbook. No chance to repair anything, because the paper is much to smooth :-). The paper turned to a crazy fluffy worse thing... So I don't repair anything after the first attempt. And I find just 2 black pencils in the house... very old ones. Because of the Corona-lockdown, the shops are cloesd, so I can't by new ones. But they worked untill I was finished. Lucky me :-)
But the hardest thing was to find a good picture and get an idea or a theme for an transformation.
I had a lot of fun to do the drawings. Thanks
