Fame identity

Hello everyone, how are you doing this beautiful day? I hope all is well and good?
I have a new art to share today, something different from what i have been doing in a while.

I have been creating digital art for a while and it felt like if i go back to traditional drawing it might feel unfamiliar to work with but muscle memory is a beautiful feature of being human.
The individual i drew is a famous local actor, he's very well known in my country as he has played memorable roles in quite a number of great movies.
