My project in Realistic Portrait with Graphite Pencil course

I decided to draw my late grandfather as a Christmas-gift for my mum. I finished just in time. Obviously, since he passed 2 years ago, I did not have the possibility to take a photo of him that would have had higher quality and more information. However, I am quite happy with the result. Somehow I have the feeling I captured his spirit better than on the actual photo. The course was of great help. I started drawing this summer. Did not think I would ever be able to draw. I am eager to learn more! Gracias!
