The old man

25x18cm (10"x7") 60lb sketch paper

Very quick sketch I did yesterday while waiting for the paper to dry during my "step by step" exercise. The "step by step" is still in the process, but this old man is ready to be posted in the blog.
I experimented here with cool/warm colors. Paper (60lb) said "No!" when it realized I not only planned to draw, but also to add watercolors to this face.

  8. Francesco, thank you!
    Casey, so great to get your reaction.
    Jyothisethu, thank you! You made me laugh))
    Padmaja, I got the image from one of my Flickr contacts two years ago. But when I went to Flickr to copy the link to the photo, the photo was removed from the author's set. So I decided to sit quiet. Though it really resembles original very well.
    Tito, thank you!
    Manon, thank you!
