How to Draw a Realistic Keira Knightley

Hi everyone, today, I would like to show you a portrait of Keira Knightley. It took about 50 hours to complete in the traditional style using charcoal and graphite pencils on A2-size paper. The drawing was challenging due to the non-traditional perspective of the subject, and the difficulty of capturing their dominant facial features, appearance, and character. The second challenge was to achieve a natural look when shading the face. Judge for yourself whether I was successful. I hope you like it!
