Rolf E. H. M.

This is a portrait of my grandfather. I liked him very much, but sadly he died a few years ago. (He was then 90 years old, though... )
My mother aked me to portray him, so I did it with the help of an old photograph she gave me. He looked like this in the 1960s.

Here is a link to the old photo: [link]
You can see that his head is a bit too wide in my version and that the glasses are a bit askew. (Next time I will be using a grid for the sketch... )

Anyway, it was fun to draw his face!

Tools used: Polychromos coloured pencils (grey, white and black) on grey paper; about 13x18 inches large.
