Description

“The oppressed are allowed once every few years to decide which particular representatives of the oppressing class are to represent and repress them.”

A drawing I did of Karl Marx in my smaller travel sketchbook.
Took maybe an hour and a half. Not long really. All done with a single 4B pencil.


“As individuals express their life, so they are.” - Karl Marx

The first thing I noticed is that the hair is so hard to see. Not because you can't see it, but there just isn't enough details. It kinda looks like he has a bit of hair, then is bald, some more hair, bald and so on. Adding some more darker spots or faint lines to the white parts would make his hair look better and give it more depth.
Also the upper lip. The lower lip looks really nice, but with a lighting like that you would see a little bit of the upper one too. Just adding a few lighter lines around the middle or the side of the upper lip and it would be perfect.
I have to say I really like the way you did the eyes, even if the shades at the top and bottom are a 'little' bit too strong, it gives a really nice contrast.
