I often find I work quick when dealing in gray-scale — when the contrast is dialed up high. To sell the realism in this one I spent a good deal of time drawing individual strands of hair with the pencil tool.
Started with dark grays and gradually increased the brightness until I was selectively adding wisps of pure white. A few coats of gray watercolor to smoothen out any abrupt transitions of color, and I called it a day.
