My Graphite Portrait: 'Smoking Dude'

So I've had this particular reference on my smartphone for quite a while but it was recently I felt like drawing it. This is mostly because it was in line with the kind of technique I'm currently practicing.

For the most part of today, I spent my time referring to people and I was really wowed by their reactions. At some point, I almost burst out but I'd made a commitment to be patient. This drawing kind of reminds me of a calm state where all that's happening is what I want...

These are the outlines...

Thanks for the visit friends.
