Textured Portrait Drawing

I wanted this portrait to still feel like my style while using some of what I learned. I drew the portrait without tracing and shaded like I normally would before adding stains to the background and dress. I really like how this piece turned out.

I drew this with my iPad and procreate app

I used a reference from Pinterest for the body shape and then added a dress that felt more elegant

Once the sketch was done I added some colors using a palette I created.

I love adding shadows and highlights

Finally I adjusted some of the colors and added texture to the piece
