Most of the texture is the tooth of the cheeeeep WalMart paper I drew this on. The compressed sticks get all renaissance-y ("I'm a charcoal drawing! Come at me!") on toothy paper, and I like the pretentiousness of it.
Shading is what I'm trying to learn. I started out digital painting and it was evident that I was value blind...Feels good to hear folks can see it getting better.

Oh my! This is lovely.
Great shading and kudos for getting such nice tonals on such a simple subject!

The tones and values are what I'm focusing on and why I'm trying to teach myself charcoal. That you think that part doesn't suck is the nicest compliment I could receive.

I was contemplating my own mortality as I drew this close to my birthday, I think that bled through into her eyes...

Sounds alot deeper then your putting this picture out to be, and its already deep enough.

Heh. It's a heavy theme to illustrate with candy-colored ponies...

Nothing says, "Don't forget you and everyone you wIll ever love is going to get old and die," like cute candy colored ponies...
I'm going to go curl up in the foetal position in the corner for a while...

Thank you. I'm trying to teach myself proper use of light and dark using charcoal. Decided to take the scan into Paint Tool Sai and set it as a multiply layer over a set of flat colors. Seems to work pretty well, although on some monitors Granny Smith looks a little Incredible Hulkish...

Thank you! This one is probably one of my favorite just plain drawings. The values actually did what I wanted them to do.
