Self portrait in Coloured pencilsKAREN M BERISFORD

I love black as a base, it is so harsh and offers such striking effects for light subjects and I felt like a challenge so out came the photo and the pencils and I got to work. As always I start with the eyes and then begin to build up the skin tones but after a while the paper became saturated and I struggled to apply further layers hence the 'pitted' effect.
