Hello Steemains!

Today, I want to share with you my new art work. It's a portrait drawing of one of my clients which I took the shot by myself.

Initially, he wanted a portrait painting that's why I took him the shot but later on requested for a full life painting - which I am currently working on - so I decided to draw this one in my sketchbook.

Notice the flow of my strokes in harmonious direction - they combined to create forms.

The portrait was done with a blue ballpoint pen on a cardboard paper. I used cross hatching technique to create this piece.

#### Below are my step-by-step processes

Step 1
From a blank sheet to traces of lines

Then to forms
