Take a glamorous, clean-cut individual whose job it is, is to present the institution he leads as clean and wonderful and distort him into a deranged, beaten figure whose face proudly displays its imperfections and you'll get this image. I tried as best I could to edit it for display on a monitor but it still falls short. I've improved since I began it (I learned the anatomy of the figure) I see countless errors. If I were to begin again, It would look very different. Anyhoo, I like

Work time: About 20 hours spread out over 5 months

You would think so, but I was nearsighted and It took me a about 8 years to learn to draw. Keep working, you'll never know if you do if you stop.

Did you use graphite powder for this?

I don't know about "deranged" and "beaten", but you have definitely created a very interesting portrait! I love the dirty, dark feel of this drawing, and his frown and slightly staring eyes really emphasize that.
As you mentioned, there are a few mistakes, but they don't distract from the overall expression of the drawing.

Great work!

Thank you. No, I hate graphite powder!!! I used woodless graphite and ordinary pencils
