Description This is a sketch that I started when I was taking a bus and ended in a coffee shop of certain parasitic franchise some love, most people hate (take a guess).

I've been waching lots of documentaries on the Arctic recently and I wanted to do some Arctic-Themed piece. The Inuit girl is supposed to be smiling but I kinda couldn't pull it off...so think of it as an Alaskan Mona Lisa (remember, I never use models, maybe I should!!)

This time I tried new techniques with the eraser and different B pencils. I know I should be moving on to pastels, but I'm learning new stuff w/ pencils at the moment so please bear with me!

I think making her not smiling is not a bad choice, it looks wonderful.
and I like the new style you used in this sketch, nice work on the movement in her fur (what she's wearing.. if I'm not wrong) and her hair ... well done!
