Lady bug

Hello beautiful minds,how have you been? I hope the holiday spirit is ringing in you already,i cam feel the christmas tingle in my fingers already so i been doing pencils these days.

I spent approximately 62 minutes on this piece, it's was expedient but i enjoy every stroke of pencil. I started with a very subtle figure sketch and gradually developed in with seriousness and it eventually turned into this beauty.
