Unfinished except the nose

PaperFaces portrait of Myriam J. inspired by a photograph on Sktchy.
Lately I’ve been trying to strike a balance between unfinished and over-worked by selectively adding detail to a piece.
One thing I’ve found working digitally these last couple of years is it can be a challenge to capture the same sketchy quality of a real pencil. In some cases you have to do more work to fake it, which is probably why you find so many digital works that look over worked and airbrushed.
