My Graphite Portrait of Frodo Baggins

Few days from now three years ago, my brother and I went to get some food supplies at the market, soon we saw ourselves on a bridge which happened to be quite long and halfway through the rain came pouring down like a crazed person. Though we were drenched, it was quite fun. We hadn't had this much rain excitement in a while. Getting back home, I was puzzled and didn't know what to imprint on paper so I flipped through my gallery and I stumbled upon a collection of the "Lord of the Rings" photos and there he was Elijah Wood all dressed up as Frodo Baggins. So to make it more interesting I used an 8B pencil for the first time, an 8B pencil all through. Frodo Baggins was the main character in the movie and at various times he had judgemental problems, trouble knowing who to trust and he also saw the world as though it was through a looking glass. I would like to believe we were all once like this before age taught us some harsh lessons. Enough talk, the sketch;

Outline for this Sketch
Using my 8B and considering the softness, I was really tensed and was trying not to get a all dark sketch and good gracious I didn't.
