When the Sketch A Day prompt is Eagle, I though of the pistol desert eagle, then my partner mentioned Bullet-Tooth Tony. It was such a good idea! So I sketched the portrait of Vinnie Jones as Bullet-Tooth Tony in Snatch from a famous scene where he uses his desert eagle gun.

I used my graphite pencils Jumbo 9000 on my sketchbook. I kept the style of adding value, blended with a blending stump, only on the skins and hairs but not in the clothes. Contrary to the clothes I kept sketched roughly, I added more value to the gun as it is an important part of the sketching as the prompt was eagle. I used my mono zero eraser to do the highlights.
