I was practicing with shading. I think that using images of older people and studying the gradient values are essential when it comes to drawing. I think that's why I like drawing older people. either that or I'm just weird. Anyway I liked the outcome, hopefully my next work will be more interesting.
I used different shades of pencils with this drawing.
The image I used came from here --> link

you're not weird, i agree that older folks make great subjects especially for shading, there's a lot more going on visually, a lot more to work with
