Hello guys, how are you all doing today?

This expressive portrait was created using a combination of charcoal and crayon, blending the raw texture of charcoal with the vivid colors of crayon to bring the subject to life. The man in the drawing wears a bold green cap, tilted slightly, adding character to his calm, introspective gaze.

His facial features are rendered with rich contrast and depth, showing detailed attention to light and shadow. The background, filled with dynamic pink strokes, adds energy and emotion to the piece without overpowering the subject. The clothing uses sweeping strokes of blue, orange, yellow and green, giving a sense of motion and warmth. The overall style is raw yet soulful, capturing not just the likeness but the spirit of the figure.
