Tonal portraits
There are three basic stages in the creation of this image (drawn in 2B pencil):
1. Using line drawing to organise the position, shape and proportion of the features.
2. Using softly shaded tone to create the form and texture of each feature.
3. Using larger areas of tone to unite all the elements of the portrait.
