Description A self-portrait using charcoal and pastels.

Lots of unintended symbolism there...

8+ hours...I lose track. O_0

Did you know that I love critique almost as much as I love general comments?

You know, this one kind of reminds me of one of the covers from a Dragonlance novel... it has a character called Raistlin.
I love the shading!

As for the critique...the eyes could've been more realistic, as well as the hair/eyebrows. You can usually show the strands of hair by doing individual strokes, instead of just shading in the area. That's what I usually do. I can't really tell what your facial expression is supposed to be, so please enlighten me. I also realized, that you don't have an Adam's apple in this pic. Did someone eat it? I do love how you kept the direction of the light source in the clock, as well as the face. You gave movement to the hood of the cloak, which is also good.

I know; I guess that's the problem with charcoal- it's a bitch to erase. It's much easier to get emotions and details with pencil.

I understand completely. I had to use charcoal in Draw 1 class at school. Fortunately, we also got to use it on drawing fabrics, which to me was much easier.

It sure could be worse. The face is very good indeed...you sorta do seem somewhat like a Grim Reaper, though. 8+ hours, eh?

*cough* Ego

I'm joking.
I think you did your face pretty well.
The clock and the robes, as well.
the gray-ishness of the robe still bothers me, though. >_>;

Yeah, the robe is a bit off since I accidentally switched to pastel when I started on the bottom half. O_o I suppose it could be worse..
