<https://s.mj.run/XtzTZhTB5rw> Monochromatic portrait, in pencil, showcasing a of Henry David Thoreau. Thoreau has an air of quiet dignity and refinement, with a slight smile. Thoreau’s hair is swept back and to the side. Thoreau wears a dark coat with a high collar and a bow tie. Thoreau’s facial features are soft yet detailed, with a straight nose, gentle eyes, and a slight, ambiguous smile. The shading is subtle, with soft transitions that suggest a gentle illumination from the left, casting a mild shadow on the right side of his face. The background is a consistent, blank gradient, which places the entire focus on the subject. Place a small pacman character taken from the reference image at Thoreau’s shoulder. --ar 5:8
