Artist's Comments
Oh my god, this was fun. I was searching for pictures with lots of emotion and expression in them and found this one. It's such a great reference and I'm a little sorry that I didn't spend more time to draw all the details the reference provides - but only a little
 So this is my second charcoal drawing - I hope you all like it, I certainly do  I wanted to do a full black background and started on it, smudging the charcoal with a tissue. Then I noticed, that I really like the effect it gave, so I just kept it that way - hence the title (yes I was creative with that for once  )Anyways, I guess I'm on a roll, I'm already working on the next one, though I'm not sure whether it'll be charcoal again. Have a great weekend everyone!!  Technical Information Charcoal, 2B and 8B pencil finger, tissue and Q-tip for blending kneaded eraser Strathmore sketch paper something around 7 hours Reference found on Stock Xchange: [link] Levels adjusted in Photoshop to make the scan look more like the original picture Comments

Wow! I am amazed by the details! The shading is absolutely incredible and the contrast is perfect between the white skin and the dark background. I am absolutely impressed by the forehead because its especially hard with a shaved head such as his. [Or maybe that's just me.] The overall expression made me giggle at first, really. A great use of charcoal indeed.
As for what you can work on, I can't think of much, really. I really thought this was a photomanipulated picture at first.
Astonishing work. I would love to peek at the rest of your gallery. Happy drawing!
