Digital watercolor and pencil portrait of a smiling man looking down, wearing reflective sunglasses, facial scruff, and a white collared shirt. Slight bokeh in the background. Painted in muted tones.

Details in the sunglasses

I merely added a few white highlights to the sunglasses and facial hair stubble, smudged the background, and bam — instant photo realistic results. Looks even more convincing when shrunken down.
