This is a pencil drawing of a woman I saw in a magazine advertisement for cosmetics. The dark specks and other irregularities visible in the image are a consequence of the damage the drawing has suffered over time, being moved from one cardboard box to another. I used a 0.3-millimetre mechanical pencil with a hard lead to draw this picture. The original model (Australian Belinda Bauer) did not have her eyes quite so widely open, and her complexion was slightly darker than it appears here (difficult to translate into black and white and pencil).
