Hey, it's not an optical illusion of something else! Everyone knows all drawings of old people have to simultaneously look like something else (young woman, weird guy upside down, a lamp, etc.). You did it wrong.

He needs a larger forehead/crown. As per what you have drawn, his head has been squished down and he's missing a good chunk of brain. It kind of goes along with some rather wonky proportions that are occuring. While the shading and lean toward a realistic human face is evident (and I know that drawing people who are older is difficult), along with the facial size issue, the eyes seem way too big, the mouth needs to be larger, and I think this guy needs to look old all across his face. Right now, it appears that he's aged in the forehead and parts of his eyes, but his cheeks have stayed at a youthful age.

Ooh, interesting!

It's rather melancoly, as showed by the lack of colour and the shading. I love the eyes as well.

 

Yeah, it's a good depiction of an old person!

 

Other than the partial lack of head, I´ve got nothing more to say. He seems a bit sad, though? =\
