Minimalist Pencil and Charcoal Sketch of Man Smiling

This is a sketch I did while teaching a class of kids to draw a face. The point I was trying to make is that you need to keep loose and enjoy the drawing process. I used a casual scribbling technique to make the image of the man smiling. I first did it in pencil and then deepened some of the lines with charcoal. I think it turned out very expressive. I could have done a lot to develop the picture but I like the minimalist effect.
