Indigo pencil on bristol 9" x11"

My first intention was to paint her with oil, but I wanted to do a sketch before, and,one thing leading to another, I spent a few hours on the drawing. But I don't give up later!
Mon intention première était de la peindre à l'huile, mais avant cela je voulais faire une esquisse;de fil en aiguille, je me suis attachée à cette fillette, et ai passé quelques heures à la dessiner.Mais je ne désespère pas, pour plus tard!

pencil on strong bristol 6"x9"

 For once, I decided to follow a drawing challenge and give it a try.Maybe I didn't draw for years, and I am quite glad with the result.The picture was given by idrawandpaint, but apparently, they don't want any link to their site on the blogs.
So, it was drawn with a 2B pencil;I didn't remember how long I took for this kind of work,before, about 4h, I suppose, but I am now aware of the difference of mood I am with it.I am more concentrated, and I am "in"the character, I never have this feeling with painting;  well, now I notice a few improvements I should do, of course!
