A Graphite Portrait

I noticed my works were beginning to look a bit stereotypical so I decided to take a little detour.
In the process, I found a photo of Notorious B.I.G and it was appealing. the casting of the highlights as well as the direction of the depth were in perfect proportion. Sadly, I wasn't able to properly interpret this but then, I did the best I could.

As at the time I embarked on this assignment, I was loosing daylight so had to kick it up and in the process skipped a few steps.

These are the outlines....

It's been fun hosting you folks, thanks for the visit.
