Pencil Portrait drawing of an old man: steps and processes

Hey everyone, I'm about to share another pencil drawing of mine.
Just as often, I have challenged myself again to drew this portrait of an old man with beards.

Achieving or making a great drawing is or are often a bit easy especially when drawing the smooth face because the shadings are really normal and easy as expected.
But for this one, it wasn't that easy as I initially thought. Because of the complicated nature of its shading, it actually took me a bit long time to complete the whole drawing processes or steps.

It was really abit of relief after completing this artwork.
As usual, I used my HB, 2B, 4B, 6B pencils in completing this artwork, art paper and a paper napkin as a blending tool.

I first started from the out sketch of the old man face which you can actually see from the shot I took during the drawing processes before proceeding to drawing the eyes to get the whole picture of my drawing.

Some shot i took during the drawing processes are well presented here, so that you can actually view it and see the steps I took to achieve the final outcome of the drawing.

So below are the shots I took during the drawing processes.

This is the final outcome of the drawing which took me about 4hrs to achieve it.
