Pablo Picasso was one of the world's most renowned and famous artist of recent times. He is also one of those artists whose paintings are worth a fortune. Picasso is an inspiration to many artists around the world and as a tribute to the late artist, here's a drawing of him I made using charcoal and graphite pencil medium.

The materials I used for this drawing are;
•Pelican paper
•Graphite pencil
•Charcoal pencils
•Dry paint brush
•An eraser

First of all, I make a free hand sketch of his face using a graphite pencil

The next stage I the use of charcoal pencil to outline his facial features i.e his eyes, nose and lips. I also shaded his hat with the black charcoal
