This Aug_5_22 sketch

I just sketched Pushkin in pencil. I guessed the man has nothing todo with what is going right now. He was a famous Russian poet, playwright, and novelist of the Romantic era in the 1900s.

Born: June 6, 1799, Moscow, Russia

Died: January 29, 1837, Saint Petersburg, Russia.

I sketched him from a painting. I am actually not sure how much of the resemblance of my sketch compared to Pushkin in his time. I just know some friends told me that they recognized him from looking at my sketch.

I think the objective of pencil drawing is to make the sketch more likely into a black and white photo or going beyond that.
