Finally a new portrait drawing!
Finally I managed to post a drawing! This is the latest, working on it VERY occasionally, maybe half an hour a week! I’ve reached the point at which a drawing can be considered finished, while you can still add lots of details to it. So I share it with you, but guess will continue working on it, adding those crazy details to make it more realistic.

Realistic Pencil Portrait Drawing
Materials used for this drawing are almost the same as before: my magical mechanical pencil, smooth Fabriano paper (this time I used the heavier one: 220 gr.) and Pelikan white gum eraser.
Hope you like it. 
I think I can touch it.. no actually it is too far from where i live.. but still so real… amazing!! Great drawing.
Wow, your words are so uplifting, thank you very much!
Spectacular work, Mary. I don’t think it needs a thing. It’s perfect. Just perfect.
Wow, your beautiful words raise my drawing spirit! Thanks a million, Jill!
That is just phenomenal – so realistic, and a beautiful pose too. It must take so much time to get to this point.
Wow, thanks a million for your beautiful encouraging words!
Yes, trying to do realistic drawings is so time consuming, and it’s hard to figure out when it’s time to stop.
Amazing drawing, love the hair!
Thank you so much!
Awesome!

Your talent is amazing! I love your work, keep it up!
Thank you so much for your uplifting words! That’s very kind of you.
By the way, your blog is great!
Your mechanical pencil MUST be magical! Great value range and variety of edges. Oh, that hair!
Receiving such a nice comment from such a great artist was a very pleasant surprise! I’m really honored, thank you very much.
I’ve been astonished by your wonderful paintings and drawings, the real magic is absolutely there!
Amazing drawing! you have some real ninja skills when it comes to realism. How many hours do you think you put in on this drawing?
Thank you very much for visiting my blog and for your uplifting words! Unfortunately I can’t know the amount of time spent for this drawing, I picked it up every now and then for few minutes, during a long period of time. Will try to keep track of the hours for my next works, however on some of my older drawings posts it’s mentioned how much time is spent approx.
This drawing is fantastic. I admire your patience and ability.
Thank you very much for your beautiful words! I’m so glad you liked drawing.
Hi Spectacular drawing! I love it. You are talented and patient
Thanks for visiting my blog and following it too!
Hi, it was my pleasure
I love your paintings!
Many thanks to you for your kind and inspiring words.
Wow … I enjoy my sketching and am personally happy with what I produce. But you are on a completely different level. I am fascinated with the detail, softness of the skin and fine lines in the hair that you produce.
… okay … and a little jealous
Your drawings are very beautiful, that’s why I’m following your blog!
I just spend more time on details, these are not fast drawings. There was a time when I enjoyed drawing without getting crazy about details, and my work was finished within few hours. Now I just love to challenge myself on drawing the details for hours and hours, guess I’ll go on like this until I can finally achieve hyper-realism in my drawings.
Thank you so much for your encouraging words, they really meant a lot to me.
