Mixed Media Portrait of Young Man

I drew this to pass the time and to practice a different technique. I started with pencil for a basic layout of the face. Then I used a black conte' wax pencil to go over parts of it. After that I used watercolor pencils to lay in the values and in different areas. I washed over the watercolor pencil with a small number 2 brush using clear water to spread the watercolor pencil. I finished with a little panes grey watercolor to deepen a few areas for contrast.
