This is an ink drawing done with three inks in three pens. I drew this freehand from a personal photo starting with the brown ink. I then added grey and a touch of black. The foreground was done by blending the drawn ink with water and a brush. I applied the brown first and then layered the shadow building up from a light grey to the darker tones.

Here is my setup.
