The way you used blue ballpoint with the scribble technique to build those wise eyes feels so alive :)
I like that you worked on cardbord too, it gives the lines a gritty vibe that matches his long years.
Seeing you switch from digital tools to this portra'it makes the texture pop in a different way, and it stands out.
As someone who loves neat numbers, I admire how you kept control inside that chaos, the patience behind each loop shows experince.
