This reminds me of a great Poet from the south whom we recently lost ... Our MONK,
The passion and facial content represent a depth in your feel for the soul /spirit of an indivual life essence.
Makes me want to try drawing Potraits .
Thanks for the memory & inspiration.
this is beautiful// the details are so fine and simple and youve managed to create so many lovely shades using just black. I shoudl also add that i think the expression on his face is really wonderful. so life-like!!
well done!
