**Scaling**

I started off scaling the drawing with a 4b graphite pencil,4inches per box to make up for 5boxes for the breadth and 6boxes for the length(20x24 inches)
I sketched out the outline and major  curves to effevtively size out all folds on the cloth and wrinkles on the face.

**Shading stage**
*Stage 1*

![IMG_20220804_184008.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/oluwashinashiwil/EopwKFE6b46PpASLa3KSr6mUW2oWLNppv7MAyx6aRajWLDRpntsUEeRghz9hUdwEqgh.jpg)

I created the skin texture with a brush and charcoal powder, dark lines with soft 6b generals charcoal pencil and blending stumps. Highlights were done with monozero eraser and kneaded eraser.
Shade transition is a key effect to giving drawings a realistic depth.
I took my time to blend in all tones  and detail the beard and hair.
I shaded the area on the side of the head and jaw area to the chin to be darker then i highlighted the hair strands with monozero and electric eraser to create the white hair effect and texture.

*Stage two*

![IMG_4123.jpeg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/oluwashinashiwil/23ywuFdYxDe1UPTJ7LboFVMptKoAuBMRRqke7bMVFbNE94e8XAEyCc3QqJBhPo8FeVMn6.jpeg)

I repeated the skin texture process i used for the face while shading the hand, i carved out the veins and skin wrinkles with a blending stump and kneaded eraser but the cloth is a while different story; first i darken all cloth lines and blend them with a stump then i lay a light charcoal tone to sync then i carve out the folds with a smaller brush and blend all tones together with a bigger brush with another layer of light tone.

*Stage 3*

![IMG_20220805_184221_1.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/oluwashinashiwil/Eonnujb7fmWY1wRiLRgvBeXoXvHfBZZ9w1SgMqhK2MdTwo5TdoFgpNeNL1mRt7aWJb7.jpg)

The weave design on his attire were fun to create.
First, i lay a soft, light tone to create a subtle fold effect then i dabbled out the weave lines with a 2b generals charcoal pencil then i blended all lines with a stump and then i used monozero eraser to highlight the weaves and blocks.


**The end**
