Colored pencils are excellent for the fine details of the beard and text, allowing for precise layering. Markers can provide smooth coverage for the robes and background. Gel pens can add subtle highlights to the sword or book bindings.
Start with the large areas of the robes using light pressure. Use a simple palette of browns and creams for a classic look. Focus on staying within the lines of the books and the figure. Take breaks to avoid hand fatigue.
Create depth in the robes using 3-4 shades of a single color, layering from light to dark. Use fine-tipped pens for the intricate text on the scroll and the beard strands. Experiment with cross-hatching for texture on the wall and floor. Apply subtle blending for the light beam effect.

An elderly, bearded scribe with long, flowing hair is seated on a stone bench, deep in thought. One hand rests on his chin, while the other is on an open, large ancient book. Beside him, a stack of rolled scrolls and more large, bound books are piled, with a long, ornate sword leaning against them. At his bare feet, a small snake coils on the rocky ground amidst sparse grass. In the background, ancient stone walls with a small window and a large column are visible, creating a historical setting.
