Ink, charcoal, and graphite on drawing paper

I was assigned to use multiple materials in a portrait art piece, and I decided draw my cat.

The materials I used was mostly charcoal and a bit of ink pen on drawing paper. I also used tape for the border.

To make this I started by making a border out of tape and graphed it out to match the printed picture. Then I started sketching out the picture and adding details as I went.Â
