    Use the Grid Technique to sketch out your reference.
    Read Light, Shadow, and Dark Values in your reference
    Use Layers and Graphite Blending Techniques to easily reproduce the values in your reference.
    Add texture and details to make your piece more realistic like drawing eyebrows, hair, and adding highlights.
