Pencil Drawing of Keke Palmer

Hi Hivers! I want to share my just completed pencil drawing. A portrait drawing of Keke Palmer.
She is an American actress, singer, songwriter and television personality.
She began performaning at an early age. Her debut album, So Uncool, was released on September 18, 2007. She played the lead role in the 2006 film 'Akeelah and the Bee'. Other film credits include Barbershop 2: Back in Business, Joyful Noise, Rags and Hustlers. She was also a co-host on the talk show 'Strahan, Sara and Keke.'
She is a talented singer and actress that has collaborated among many worldwide Hollywood stars.

I made this drawing for her 'cause she is a role model and to wish her a happy birthday.

I spent over 100 hours completing this drawing and I enjoyed every phase of it 'cause her music kept me going.
I used different reference pictures in creating this piece. I hope you like it.

Here are some progress shoots

After sketching, I love starting shading from the eye
