Information I draw photorealistic sketches . I prefer to use Brustro's soft wax based color pencils. I like to draw on brown paper as its tint brings out my sketches making them more eye- catching. I don't usually draw smiling faces but as a teen, this one made sense to me I choose the people I draw precisely, using their expressions to express myself. First I draw a rough sketch, then add shadows and highlights. Finally, I use soft strokes and keep on layering them using different shades of pencils colors. In this sketch the girl had beautiful turquoise eyes resembling the ocean so I tried my best to make them as lively as possible by balancing the tones.
