- Alfredo James 'Al' Pacino, an American actor and filmmaker, was born in Manhattan on April 25, 1940 to Italian-American parents Salvatore Pacino and Rose, who divorced when he was two years old. His mother then moved to live with her parents.
- Pacino is well known for playing mobsters, especially Michael Corleone in The Godfather films and Tony Montana in Scarface, and often appeared on the other side of the law—as a police officer, a detective and a lawyer.
- He won the Academy Award for Best Actor at the 65th Academy Awards for his performance as Frank Slade in Scent of a Woman. Prior to his win he had received seven Oscar nominations, including one that same year.

Truly Admirable piece of Art Ankita!! :) Well done!! Al Pacino will appreciate your sketch!! :)
ReplyDeleteI understand the complexity in this sketch - it isn't easy to draw those face textures, wrinkles of an aged man, getting the hair right is another challenge - good use of shading techniques!! How many grades of colour pencils did you use - I mean hard/bold/fine point and did you use any crayons?
Keep doing many such drawings, all the best!! :)
