Soul in the Shadows

Hi wonderful Hivers of the sketchbook community.
Good evening to you all.
Here's another interesting piece of art I made, it captures the raw intensity of silence- a gaze that speaks louder than words. Every stroke was meant to reveal a soul hardened by experience yet still cloaked in quiet strength. The shadow aren't just darkness; they are the weight of stories untold.

Materials used: Charcoal Pencil on FBB paper.
