In the video, a person is seen drawing a portrait of a man using a black pencil. The artist starts by sketching the outline of the man's face, then proceeds to add details such as the eyes, nose, and mouth. The drawing is done on a white paper, and the artist uses a variety of shading techniques to create depth and dimension in the portrait. The man in the portrait has a serious expression, and the artist captures this mood through the use of shading and contouring. The video is shot from a close-up angle, allowing viewers to see the artist's hand movements and the progression of the drawing.
