I began drawing with a sketch of the the reference Image which I may not likely share here because of community rules.
I started the sketch with the head which I sketched the part of the hair and the hear. And with a pen , no pencil involved.
In this slide , I drew the complete sketch of the head .
Parts includes the eyes, nose, mouth(lips) eyelashes and eyebrows. The I also shaded the eyeballs.
I also drew her transparent pair of glasses.
Here, she's putting on a shirt. So I gotta make a sketch of that too.
It's going to be an Half body art so, the sketch stops somewhere below the the chest.

And here , I began the shading with the face. So, because I'm using a pen, I have to be extra careful when shading.
And I'm shading in one direction for the skin.
So, every part of the skin, I'll in one direction.
So, if you notice, you'll see that the shading is being don e in one direction.

Like I said before, the glass is transparent, so no shading for that.
And for the hair, it's curly, I used another method to shade the hair. I don't know how it's called. Just know I achieved that niece curly hair by creating multiple circular shadings on the head.
In the image above, you could see that I started shading the clothes from the collar.
Also in on direction ( Downward strokes). I did it continuously and lightly to get that blended texture.
Below is a complete sketch of the clothing in a way I want it.
Also I said it would be a half Image. So, that's it.
Here, I just added my username and #steemit before taking the selfie with it.

Your pen sketch looks very admirable and attractive. You really sketch so well using just a pen without even making a mistake, your kind is rare. Good job 👍
