How to Sketch an Expressive Face | Portrait Drawing Tutorial

Welcome to Erens Sketching!✨

Discover the beauty of expressive sketching with this charcoal portrait of a beautiful woman. In this tutorial, I explore the use of a charcoal stick to block in shadows and create a sense of depth and freedom.
