Fabulous drawing… subtle and simple, just how a portrait drawing should be!

On the other hand, I like the tighter work too, sometimes more , sometimes less. At the moment im into more simple stuff. This can be more complicated than realistic work

One I did a while ago, inspired by Rembrandt (obviously). Mainly dip pen with ink and Sanguine pencil.
