Thanks all @KevinGE Not quite sure what you mean when you say they look like 2 drawings matched together! does it look like a cut out? And she has blonde hair and bright blue eyes. The drawing is lighter than this picture in real life, i would take another photo of the drawing but my mum won`t let me take the drawing off of her wall because she knows i will get my pencils out and start fiddling with it lol.

@lloydy I think he means that even the darkest shadows in the face/hair are significantly lighter than the black in the shirt.

@David_Quinn_Carder The blacks on this image are alot darker than in real life , i used contrast and summin else thats why i think lol. i have the a few photos of the drawing but light was reflecting on the graphite in the eye and it looked weird.

Here is another image that has`nt been through any program.
