I love sketching

Sketching is a very big passion of mine. It's a bit like therapy to me, the only problem is that I can never find time anymore to just sit down and draw. 

This sketch was created last year using a 2b and a 6b pencil, it took me about 7-12 hours.

I was trying to portray his happiness and joy, especially through the eyes by accentuating the wrinkles in the corner of his eyes. The mouth is also a very significant factor used to portray his emotions.
