Survived past 91 years old, Picasso was undeniably the most famous, most successful, and probably the richest artist of all time. He started to get famous when he was still in his twenties. People at his time were already crazy about his works.
You can find a lot of photos of Picasso online. And if you study them one by one, it's not difficult to realize the consistent playfulness in his eyes, no matter how old he got, and how seriously he posed. The picture I chose to draw was very likely taken under bright sunlight, that forced Mr. Picasso to frown. Despite all seriousness, you do not see a hint of sadness. (He was probably just putting his game face on :p )
If you look at his less serious photos, do you see the kid inside of him?
"It takes a long time to grow young."
"Youth has no age."
-Pablo Picasso
