Wax pencil sketch of the Professor.

The Professor, a wax pencil drawing

This is a drawing I did in my sketchbook this week. I didn't take as much time as I normally do but it turned out nicely. I used only conti wax pencils to draw it.  I was surprised that they blended so nicely this time, but I wasn't asking a lot of them I only wanted to have a smooth even under drawing to do the top sketch over it. He had bright smiling eyes and a lot of neat smile lines around the face. I think I gave him a little grace and restored his hair to an earlier time. I kept the drawing to just the face and did nothing for the background and little of the attire so one will continue to focus on the lively intellectual spirit of the man. It was a delightful picture to draw.
