Moonlight: a study in light and shadow

Realistic portrait in graphite pencil made on request. Even though I didn't attend the course (yet) and with the awareness of having to continue my studies, I wanted to try. The project involved only doing the portrait in black and white, but I wanted to add details in the background to test my composition skills. After various attempts, I am quite satisfied with the final version of both illustrations and I hope that it will also be appreciated by those who happen to come across it in the future. Of course, comments and constructive criticism are also welcome. 🖤
