Great!! Love it!! Light source on the face is awesome.
You have much experience using charcoal?

[Lionhearts]

Thank you Vinoshitto! yeah I've been using charcoal for years. The only medium I haven't used much is watercolors. But I just ordered a set to play around with.

That's spot on man! The hair really impresses me as I find it difficult to stay fine and sharp with charcoal.

[Lionhearts]

Just gotta sharpen the charcoal with a razor blade. i usually carve out the point of the pencil about an inch or so to give it that super sharp point. The charcoal usually stays sharper longer

[The Limey]

Very very nice, the hair really is great. I always end up smudging charcoal with my gorilla mitts :(

[casey]

[Lionhearts]
