Hi friends, I made this expressive drawing of an older man with intense facial features, a long, flowing beard and messy, unkempt hair. The furrowed brows, deep-set eyes, and strong wrinkles give a stern, wise, and perhaps melancholic expression. His eyes are piercing, holding a deep intensity, adding to the emotional impact of the drawing. ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWAaVS1AgKb4e4HzSkzixvFNrgvcQtSh4jMMbdsZzvj9j/image.png) * ----------------------------------------------- I've started by making a drawing with a charcoal pencil. I wanted to create a portrait that carries both wisdom and intensity. I focused on deep-set eyes, furrowed brows, and strong wrinkles to evoke a sense of experience, maybe even a bit of sorrow. ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWDDqRr2ppyCLEtqCzxQwQtN1Y9o9hXAF1rxDauZrgzm2/image.png) I made the background for the hair by spreading charcoal with my fingers. ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmTZX5VtArti1v6yvFRZeboG3XzC4Tt8TN4Vr3bbigN2Tw/image.png) Using a white pastel pencil, I drew the hair over the charcoal base while refining the details. ![image.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmWAaVS1AgKb4e4HzSkzixvFNrgvcQtSh4jMMbdsZzvj9j/image.png) * ----------------------------------------------- ![vine_small.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/250x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUsv5qbEenfJa7LCkGq1bhLhDZWNQFyRuvqcucbMkTfk1/vine_small.png) ### ***I wish you a very nice day!*** ----------------------------------------------- ### *Time* [by J.Van de Perre - Painting process demo](https://youtu.be/FQAb53vu8V0) [![Time.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYva8sGpW8bmwtrEwzupUvSuQKNPgXFkGE2Jg19NrcZSJ/Time.jpg)](https://youtu.be/FQAb53vu8V0)
