This is a ballpoint pen portrait of a bearded bald head man. His face has a lot of expression.

There is a videos of the work in progress on YouTube, so you can watch the processes it took to sketch this drawing (step by step), and also witness the practical use of my ballpoint pen shading tactics (or techniques), just carefully observe it. And if interested, I would upload the sketch in real time (normal speed) in my other YouTube Art Channel.

Using this spot for updates I might want to highlight by bringing it to page one
