If it's to offer, birthday present, Father's Day, I would take all the time to make it. If it takes me more than 2 hours (4 hours or more) I leave my offer for 2 hours.
Here is a portrait that I made more or less in 2 hours without going to the end for the details. The best is when I spend 4 hours on it for maximum detail.
I have always liked making sketches of faces for the concentration aspect and this form of discovery and analysis of the portrait and details. It has a contemplative side too. The subject I choose doesn't matter to me, but I need to put myself in a little condition (a little music and calm).
The model is Jacko Hooper. A songwriter from Brighton.
It is in fine and greasy graphite pencil on A4 sheet.
