Black History Portrait

Friday my mom asked if I could do a portrait of the mayor, and of course I didn't want to but I said okay. She wanted it by Monday. So, Monday comes around, it's some time in the afternoon and mom's like, "Are you working on the picture?" and I'm like..."OOPS". I ended up using a different technique where I shaded everything by hand in pencil. That made coloring a lot quicker and easier and gave the picture a more artistic look than my last ones. I'm fairly satisfied and it's the quickest I've ever done a realistic picture from start to finish. I wish I had thought to do portraits this way sooner. But then, I barely do portraits as it is. Something bugs me about her right eye though.
