Art is a Kind of Illness Part seven

I have been promising to pick up a pencil or paintbrush for some time now! Basically i thought a start with some sketches might ease me back in. Photoshop is awesome but it can ruin this kind of skill. If the first proper sketch/pencil (& sharpie) drawing had went badly i would probably have broken something in anger & not spoke of the fiasco. Thankfully it went pretty well, ok, i am not completely happy with what you see below but i am convinced i can still draw, and hopefully that means i can still paint! Faults with it? HIs wonky eye doesn't satisfy me, his mouth is not quite as detailed as it could be and, well, i could go on!!
