[CR] Drawing a portrait (69)

Hello dears!
Today I want to offer you a portrait made of an ordinary ballpoint pen, though with a black rod.
For an image this time I chose the remarkable performer and the musician, the leader of legendary group and just good person. I won't mention the group name, maybe someone will be interested to call it yourself. I will only say that once in his youth his songs sounded like a revelation, as a touch to something unknown and forbidden for that time (this is of course only my personal opinion).
Let's begin. Available: a blank sheet of paper, a pen and a photo from which we draw.

Steps:

Sketch do just a fountain pen, without the use of a pencil, and hence the eraser (so interesting). We begin of course with the basic elements of the future image.

Finish the initial sketch adding the missing details of the portrait.

Now let's do the hair, and for this we have to darken the background on a certain area.

Next, go directly to the shades of the face. In order not to apply strokes in layers, we can try to shade a weaker pressing of the pen on the paper, which I try.

Continue to thoroughly apply shades to the face and neck.

In conclusion, it remains for us to finish and set off the items of clothing and a microphone.

I sincerely hope you enjoyed my post.
See you again, Friends!
