Hey, your work is awesome. I've been trying many different techniques and styles, but yours is what i pursue. Kinda classic, kinda new. Can I try out and draw some of your images? This Vultus is incredible... The eyes does remember Michelangelo!

*shrugs* I don't draw a face because it's beautiful or ugly. I draw a face because I find the pose/lighting/form interesting. Perhaps "beautiful" faces tend to be too smooth and uniform for me. There may be nothing I find interesting artistically about them.
In the end however, it's all subconscious to me.

I'd love to take credit for the idea, but I think frankly its just because I cant do anything else right or use other materials, hehe.

Do you ever use white to enhance your drawings or is it strictly charcoal?
