"Jessie Ware" was chosen as a winner in the March competition by ArtOfPeople. Thank you!

This is a portrait based on a picture of Jessie Ware done entirely with a black ballpoint pen. Link to the reference I used: [link]

I used a Bic Cristal Medium ballpoint pen as you can see in my first WIP [link] and the size is A5, so it's actually pretty small...
I have absolutely no idea how many hours I spent on this one but I think it was far too much, I have to get faster!

Please note that this is a scan and the quality isn't perfect, but I think it's pretty close to the original.

I am very pleased with the final result and I hope you like it too.

Tools I used:
- Outline with a mechanical pencil 0.5 HB.
- All the rest with a black Bic Cristal Medium ballpoint pen.
- Winsor&Newton Hard Back A5 sketchbook, 170gsm.
