Description
This is the piece I did like a week ago. I'm new at it and I wanted to do some different (like I've been doing young faces that are pretty smooth and comparatively easier to draw) so I planned on doing an old man (not the way it sounds
). Its an amazing photo and I loved drawing it.Reference: [link]

You know, it's pretty amazing how real it looks. Are you sure you're not related to Picasso or Da Vinci some how?

You seem to have a bit in common with me lol. I love doing portraits, but this exceeds anything i have done yet, i've never used charcoal powder before though. And i think you may like eyes as much as I do lol Congrats this is truly breath-taking

Thank you so much. And this was the first and the last time I used charcoal. I used a brush to drive the powder around, I don't know how to use it so I never did again.

This is so awesome. One could think is was an old photograph.
I think elder people are much more interesting subjects than young ones, but then, I am weird and a beginner at visual arts.
