Sketched portrait of Sharon Rooney from My Mad Fat Diary

This prompt Fatness was not from Sketch A Day like usual, but from the sub Reddit SketchDaily, which I haven’t done for a while. I really like the TV series My Mad Fat Diary so I looked for a photo of the show on IMDB (or equivalent website as I don’t recall it know) and used it as a reference to sketch Sharon Rooney, the main actress of this tv show.

I only used couple of graphite pencils from my Jumbo 9000 set on my sketchbook. I blended the graphite values with blending stumps, then used the mono zero eraser for most of the highlights and a white Posca marker to add extra highlights on the eyes and her left side of the face and noise, as this part of the face was facing a bright window.
