Drawrch 2026 #25: Distance

An illustration of a man looking to the left, into the distance. The man has a light complexion, dark eyes, and dark hair. He is lit strongly, with only his eyes and nose in partial shadow. He has a mustache and beard, and mid-length, wild hair. The drawing is in black and white, with black being charcoal shading and white being a warm white color. The background is empty.

Today's Drawrch is a drawing of a man staring into the distance. I did this one in black and white because the source image is in black and white. Sometimes I like that, because it makes it a lot easier to distinguish the values, but drawing it in virtual charcoal made the whole thing take a looong time.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching and some light line work, the Moleskin brush for the bulk of the shading, and the Syrup brush and Soft air brush for masking.

The photo I used as a reference for this drawing is from SketchDaily.
