This is the portrait I did for one of the two winners of Okian’s competition . The prize is a 8×11 inch portrait made on request.

One of the most interesting portraits I ever did. This time I tried to combine the graphite with some colour. And because I didn’t like any type of colour pencil, I decided to use the dry brush technique :D Never used this technique, so I was a little worry that I might destroy the portrait. But guess what? The winner loooved it, and I think too that is an interesting effect, which for sure I’ll use it in further portraits.
