Pema in pencil

Done from a photograph of Buddhist teacher Pema Chodron. I used a very soft Prismacolor water-soluble pencil, which means no erasing except of the faintest lines.

Her mouth isn't quite right, but given I put this down with no changes possible to shaded areas (erasing leaves a dark smudge instead of lifting), I'm very pleased with how it came out.

On Strathmore drawing paper.
