My daughter

Hi I'm working on a drawing of my daughter. This is going to be a present for my mother in law and I only have two more days to finish it. I am not 100% happy with this and am thinking of starting over again... Or is there something I can do to fix this one? Any tips are most welcome

You could use a wider value range?
What pencils are you using?

You probably have a good point there.... I have the whole range, but I always end up doing the whole drawing with 2B and 4B plus Charcoal thing I use for the darkest area. I don't think I really know how to use my pencils to be honest. I know that softer is darker and all that, but when I start a drawing I have a tendency to make it too light. And If I then have used a hard pencil at first I find it difficult to use a softer on top of it. It's like the paper is damaged? Maybe I use too much pressure instead of swapping pencils when drawing..

Thank you for getting back to me so soon I will prepare to start again...

Take Plisskens advice,learn to blend with tissues etc and you'll get there.
