🇺🇸 At the beginning of the drawing course, I did this personal project to practice the drawing and painting techniques with graphite that I was learning. The hair was a big challenge, because I still didn't know how to finish working with the color white. Therefore, I just erased the black with the type cleaner to draw the hair and this caused slight damage to the paper.
Years later, when comparing the hand-drawn drawing with the original photo, I realized that the facial proportions were not completely correct, so I edited the original painting in Photoshop to adjust the anatomy, correct the lighting, improve the lines and repair the wear caused to the paper during the colorization process.

🇧🇷 No início do curso de desenho, fiz esse projeto autoral para praticar as técnicas de desenho e pintura com grafite que eu estava aprendendo. O cabelo foi um grande desafio, porque eu ainda não sabia como finalizar o trabalho com a cor branca. Por isso, eu só fui apagando o preto com o limpa-tipos para desenhar os fios de cabelo e isso causou um leve estrago no papel.
Anos depois, quando comparei o desenho feito a mão com a foto original, pude notar que as proporções faciais não estavam totalmente corretas, por isso editei o desenho original no Photoshop para ajustar a anatomia, corrigir a iluminação, melhorar o traçado, apagar o letreiro mal-feito e consertar os desgastes, causados no papel, durante o processo de colorização.
