The Artist's Pause

Good evening Sketchbook community ♥️
I want to share my recent artwork with you all.
I sketched a figure caught in the act of creation, a gentleman in a worn suit and hat, standing still as he reaches out with his brush. The drawing focuses on patience and intent, capturing that calm moment just before an idea becomes visible.

Materials used: 12B sketch pencil on a sketch pad.
