the only thing that really bothers me is the sharp edge of where the skin shading ends at the bottom of the neck & flows over to where you put your signature.
that gives it a computer rendered look to me... there's a bit of that behind the ears & around the hair too.
otherwise it looks like a soft graphite or a hard charcoal.
I'm guessing that the reason it looks like that is because they scanned the picture in, and the dark/dirty white color you are seeing around/behind the ears and behind the signature is the original paper the picture was drawn on. The bright white is the "background" of the new digital image.
