It's been a very long time since I attempted a portrait, and this one was completely random. A post on Threads was suggested to me, with a drawing of this lady, and I immediately also had to draw her.

This is the original sketch, made in about 5 minutes with pencil.
The final drawing was reworked quickly in Photoshop with some overlays and shading. Under 30 mins total. While I like the result, when I put my drawing next to the original reference I can see the flaws. I wasn't trying to be perfect, should probably do more portraits again as I'm out of shape, hope I captured the essence.
Annie, if you see this, I hope you are NOT dead! You're amazing, cheers!
