construction of the face

This is me trying to improve my portrait drawing skills to get better at shading and colouring in the future. From my experience it's always super interesting and helpful to see other artist's steps they follow to get the final result of their drawing. This way I learned a lot from other artists so I wanted to share my step by step layers before getting into shading.

To see how i shaded this particular portrait check out my shading exercise of this lineart.
