Charcoal sketch of a good man.

Charcoal sketch of a good man

I did this quick sketch while waiting for my daughter to finish her music lesson and then touched it up later that evening.  It is a picture from a magazine of a very good man who is a volunteer chaplain at a hospital. I used an medium and a soft charcoal pencil. I could have gone a lot further and filled in the left side of the face with more detail but I wanted to do something more minimalist and still capture the character of the man. I think his smile and his eyes are all that was really needed to express his kindness and care.
