Whenever I have to wait for my kids at any place I take my bag with sketch stuff and draw something rather than waste the time being impatient.
This is a picture of a young man who was in a photo of a couple of people in a desert or on a beach. I liked the piercing look he had. The resource material showed a lot of dark shadows and long dark hair but art is editing so I change things to give it a softer quality.
I lightly drew this in 2b pencil and then went over it with a hard charcoal pencil. I added a little more with the 2 b pencil and then went to a medium charcoal. I did a very little blending with a stub since I wanted it to retain a quality of a drawing. I finished with a little more charcoal and used a kneaded erasure to soften some areas. He had long black hair but I left it mostly out since fashions change.
