Thnx a bunch~

No charcoal, just different shades of pencils, charcoal is very messy and I don't think I'll be using them on portraits until I mastered them >.<;
hehe I wish I had mechanical pencils, but here they don't sell ones with different H and B leads~
Shadows were done by tissue, tortillons, q-tips and my kneaded eraser after I used like 3H and 4H pencils for skin,(I think, I can't remember) uhm 6B, 8B and 9B for dark areas(like the strap on Hope's shoulder), err B, HB, 2H, 4H for hair, I think... that's mostly the main parts I'd say~
lol as time passed it slowly started to like fade away, like it looked much better during the WIP, but that's cuz I had school works, and stuff so I kinda put it aside... plus I don't put a piece of paper for my hand when I draw which kinda messes it a bit with the transition of smoothness(I find the paper very disturbing to actually have under my hand...)
If u have any more questions you could note me, and I'll try to answer them (when I'm done my hw >.<; )
