Every form of art has its own beauty. While carrying the special beauty, every art requires certain basic principles to be observed while doing the art work. So the art of drawing has also a set of fundamental principles like making the shapes of an object and doing the light effect of the intensity of light falling on an object. Art is like "love" hard to explain but you can feel it when it exists in a drawing or in other artistic objects. Drawing is the basis of artistic expression, drawing is defined as the art of representing objects or forms by lines, shading, and other means making a picture in lines.

Ability to draw something in front of you like portrait, figure or landscape is a great pleasure, to start a drawing all you need to do is prepare some paper and a pencil then begin reproducing something in front of you whether it is a portrait, figure or landscape. Drawing is usually carried out with  a pencil or pen, charcoal, pastel or other pointed drawing instruments.

The construction of a portrait drawing requires times and thought with regard to the forms of the face of a model or from the photo, there is more than one methods of portrait drawing.

It is through a constant process of changes of line, value shading and distribution of light and dark value that form and likeness are achieved. I used HB, 2B and 4 B pencils to draw the black and white portrait from photograph.
