I know you're using pencil, and these two drawings are in charcoal, but I wanted to post them anyway. This one is by Charles LaSalle from the Walter T. Foster book "Drawing in Charcoal with Charles LaSalle." I don't know what year but is is number 51, and has the $1.00 price on the front. LOVE Walter T Foster books.
Anyhow, in this book there are several drawings of older gentleman, with wrinkles and jowls intact. Because it's charcoal, the emphasis is not as much on line as on shapes and values and edges. Notice that the crows feet are there, as well as the jowl, but there is not a line in the crease of every wrinkle. The creases are described by letting the value turn the form, and letting hte hardness of the edges indicate where the wrinkles are.
Yay! Rim lighting! Must have been the 50's or 60's.
