Description I just loved this man's eyes and crooked nose when I saw the ref. photo ([link] ), and half a year later, I finally decided it was time to draw him. It was not easy, and I had a hard time getting myself to finish the drawing, but I must admit that I learned a lot and sometimes I even enjoyed it

WIP: [link]

.:materials used:.
0.5 mechanical HB pencil, and B, 2B, 5B pencils
kneaded eraser, regular eraser, and paper stumps

EDIT 30.03.06
A few hours after I submitted this drawing, I suddenly found out that he needed a darker background in some places. At the same time, I corrected a few small things that irritated me.

This is a great drawing. The details are awesome, especially in the hair and beard. How long did it take you?

Thank you! I have no idea of how long it took. I lost count pretty quickly, so it could be anywhere between four and forty hours But it is one of drawings I've spent most time on...

Thank you very much!
I'm glad that I did too - though I don't really think it'll ever look completely finished to me

Excellent job, it looks like it was a really challengiing drawing to pull off but pul it off you have.
I am very impressed with this mans moustace and beard, the two things holding me back from drawing my dad.
Also the skin looks very texured.

Thank you for the lovely comment and the fave!
It sure was very challenging - especially the beard. But as I see it, you have to challenge yourself sometimes otherwise you won't improve So you shouldn't let that hold you back - it's basically the same as drawing hair, only a bit more time consuming

Wiew, I like this drawing a lot. I think the best parts of the drawing are his eyes. They make the drawing feel... alive. (Yeah, I know I sound stupid, but whatever ). And I love the nose .
