My daily drawings ** portrait **

Hello friends,
Hope you all doing well,
I finally start drawing men's portraits :)
and today I want to share the first men's portrait,
Not bad to try, but I myself like the portrait of the woman more :)
of course that you will see more in future days.
I usually bring what I have in mind on paper. But it doesn't always go the way I want it to. It's important to draw lines and I have to try harder. Because all lines are effective in showing face mode.
So that by dragging the smallest line the face mode will change.
I also have to work more on the shadow, shading indicates the position of the face.
Hopefully day by day, the results of my efforts in my paintings will become clear.
And in the next days I can share better paintings with you :)
this is my drawing for today and steps:

Balthus:
One must always draw, draw with the eyes, when one cannot draw with a pencil.

Vincent Van Gogh:
In spite of everything I shall rise again: I will take up my pencil, which I have forsaken in my great discouragement, and I will go on with my drawing.
