How about getting your dad a set of professional-grade charcoal drawing materials? You could include some high-quality charcoal sticks, a set of compressed charcoal pencils, a kneaded eraser, an assortment of blending stumps or tortillons, and a good drawing pad. You could also consider getting him a charcoal drawing tutorial book or a subscription to an online drawing course to help him further develop his skills. Another option would be to commission a portrait from a skilled charcoal artist of someone or something he cares about. Finally, a handmade or personalized drawing board, easel, or storage case could also be a thoughtful and practical gift.
Or you can get him a star map with an important date you share.
