Graphite drawing of an Anonymous old woman

Hello everyone,
I would be sharing with you all a drawing I did of an Old Woman. I'm still getting use to the actual of drawing since its been a while and i must say it's going smoothly. This drawing took me some time to finish because of the wrinkles on her face. I normal love dark shade so I was really careful as I shaded so I could bring out the proper tone of the image. It was really interesting the wrinkle on her face, the Grey hair and the expression on her face are priceless. The wrinkles and grey hair tells a story of a life lived and experiences gained, it show the essence of age. First I made a rough sketch after with I began to draw out the lines and curse of the image. As I shaded I made sure I was relaxed in other to avoid mistakes, I'm really glad at the out come of this image.I did this drawing with a 10B Bianyo pencil on an A4 paper. Thank you all for stopping by to read my post.
