Description
This is fellow Deviant ~BfME2Graphite.
I chose to sketch his portrait for a contest #PortraitPencilArt is having for members to draw members because I liked the angle of his face and because apparently due to drawing Russell Crowe too many times, I've developed a penchant for drawing stubble. *grin*
I do not like the new paper I just bought; this drawing didn't turn out as well as I would've liked because I discovered I could NOT blend, the paper is just too rough. It will be okay for rough sketches but not for smooth drawings.

You're too sweet! I won't win with this rough sketch, tho, not when other people tried much harder, look at this [link] THIS is the one that will win, and it deserves to!

damnit I'm so glad I decided not to participate in the contest
...this is just one of quiet a few that I thought will definately win 
What size is this?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
This is about 8x11. I rushed it once I realized the paper wasn't going to work and I didn't have time to start redrawing it, so I really don't think I'll even place at all but I really wanted to sketch this pic, it was a good exercise for me. You shoulda done one, man, you shoulda done one! Let's both enter the next one, it'll be good for us ^__^

I imagine if you have done it in a good paper so!

Well, I tried

You know I quite like the look created by the texture of the paper! It's a great drawing anyway, i also love the angle, very eye catching. It's a great piece!

You're too kind. I really, really don't like the parts where I first started to try to blend it. If I'd have known it wasn't going to work and would've just left everything raw pencil I think the texture would've suited me better. But now I know what to do with this particular pad of paper in the future

Thank you! Can't take credit for that, Enes took this as a self portrait. Isn't it a cool angle? Right up the ol' nostrils! Loved it!

Regardless of the paper, it's still pretty sweet!
Looks virtually the same as the reference photo.
Do you use a grid or something?

Too much texture on the paper does make it impossible to blend. Still, it makes for a lovely texture, that is undeniable^^
That is an awesome angle, and it's complicated to draw pictures like that without making it awkward. Nice work

Thank you! I really appreciate it! This is a toothy textured paper indeed. I see possibilities for other things, but not so much for soft smooth skin

Yea, not so good for pencils, it's an awesome paper for watercolors tho
