I drew this picture while in the waiting room at the doctor's office today. It started as a piece from my imagination. I let it develop on its own. I did not want to do something common so decided to draw a rugged old outdoors type of guy. At first, I was going to draw him face forward but instead give the face a turn to give the picture more interest.
After I did a rough draft in pencil I looked around the room and began to get inspiration from the people in the room. Several old men had beards so I worked it in. The winter clothing was an invention of mine. I was trying to get a fleece texture on the cap and collar of his coat
After I finished the face I decided the picture needed something. I feel it is important for a picture to tell a story not just be a picture so I observed a man holding a cell phone and it gave me the idea to put his hand holding something in the picture.
I used a mixture of charcoal and graphite to draw this picture.
I am happy with it,
