Noticeable discomfort, prepare for some sensitivity

The detailed shading and linework may increase sensitivity, but taking breaks and using breathing techniques can help manage the pain. Applying a numbing cream beforehand may also alleviate some discomfort.
For this detailed realism portrait, consider placing it on the upper arm or back.
