   Hello hivers, this is my new pen work of a child on dreadlocks,wearing a traditional,beaded necklace

  It's the hair drappery for me and the shiny hair,I like detailing my work down to the lowest thing such as the distinct tiny little eye brows,shadows effects of the hair on the skin

  I also love shading according to the shape of object,if it's round,I give it a circular motion effect and shading,I could have shaded the hair vertically and it will still give the hair it's look but I wanted something bulgy and round in order for it not to look a bit flat, so for me to get a perfect and clean shade,I give a soft shading and see the impression it's giving me,then add stronger layers to it if it meets my expectations.

  
  The hair is embedded with beads,I added headset at the end cos I wanted to give the closed eyes and expression a source
 
  I made this drawing with blue ballpoint pen,strokes shading techniques,my processes are below....
