Weekly Face on Weds

So busy at the moment, but managed to do this face. i was sad to hear of the death of this person in the past week, and wanted to do a small tribute. 
Initial outline, not only do I outline the face and features I also lightly outline the ares of the darkest shadows. 

As usual I start with the eyes. 

Adding in more of the darkest shadows. 


I then started adding the wrinkles, something new for me, and I am not sure how well I did them. 


The nose is in, and some of the medium shading. 


Adding in the dark clothing. 


Blending all the shadows out with a paper stump. 


All done.

    Well done Darcy, I think you've captured his likeness well.
    Wrinkles are difficult too, the trick is to draw them as negatives, or should I say draw the highlights and shadows they produce.
    Good work.
