First I practiced some lines of all different widths and shades,

Then I practiced on some eyes while trying to keep the proportions in mind.

Then I practiced on some noses, I felt like this REALLY helped me improve in drawing the nose. I also felt that I got it down rather quickly and I liked the result quite a lot.

After the nose I started practicing on the lips

I drew up a couple quick faces to practice drawing the face proportions and head.

After drawing the quick faces I tried to study what I did wrong so I could have a better result for the final portrait.

I also sketched a few accessory ideas on a piece of paper.

This is my final portrait, I LOVE it so much and I feel the class has helped me improve a lot, Thank you <3
