To The Left - pencil

oooh this took a little while. It's for an end-of-semester project for art class. I think it turned out pretty well - skin is soooo hard to draw!!!! D:< especially the little pores grrr. but I wanted to do the original photo justice, so I had to draw them. though I know that a lot of the detail on the eyelid was lost and my pores are kinda just lumps lol
Thanks so much to for letting me use his beautiful photo - which got a DD btw if you didn't know. goodness, I feel proud by way of association. lol
here's the original photo [link]
I am in love with my 8b pencil right now, by the way, this drawing would so not have worked otherwise
