I wanted to emphasis the importance of adding your own personal touches to drawing with this tutorial. Here the artist has added feathers that fit into the hairs movement. Also they have added two tattoos to add another element to the drawing. Once you are more experienced with drawing human faces, you can always bring it up to another level. Try experimenting with a variety of shading styles, an example of this is the hair above has two shaded strips that run through the fringe creating a interesting effect, as well as showing how the light hits the hair. Since this drawing is done with a coloured pencil, you can try choosing only one coloured pencil to create your own drawing and only stick to that one pencil.
Now the actual drawing is drawn in a mix of an Anime and a realistic style, this is shown by how the nose is shaded as well as the hair. The eyes are drawn perfectly matching up to each other which is difficult to do, so don't worry if you aren't able to recreate this. The lips and nose are drawn simplistically, but with simple lines you need to be more precise on creating those lines. Very minimal shading is used throughout the drawing, but I want to highlight the shading of the nose since her head is leaning upwards, it creates a interesting angle of shading but the artist has had no issues working with this angle. Now the angle of the portrait is another element that you can implement into your drawings, as you can see by how the head is arched back it creates a more unique perspective adding another level of creativity.
I suggest starting small when adding personal touches to drawings, as it may take a while to discover your own style. Although you need to learn how to draw basic human faces to the correct proportions before you begin.
Feel free to post your outcome in the comment section below, have fun!
