A Charcoal of Some Old Man

This 8.3 x 11 inch drawing took place in my four hour art class. I know this guy is scary looking, but everyone was choosing the same sweet old lady. So I put down my copy of the Old Lady and chose this. I started with vine charcoal, when every feature was in place I switched to compressed charcoal. While I was drawing, a 60-ish year old lady walked by on her way to the bathroom (yeah, my seat was next to the hallway that housed the bathrooms). She stopped and gave me a hug, saying I did a good job. It made me feel good, you know, the warm fuzzy feeling good. We've been friends since then... well, saying-hi-to-each-other-friends.
