hmmm.... well this was supposed to be sorta like sunrise time-ish, but i dunno if it ended up looking that way XD; It also scanned really horrible for some reason and i had to fix it a lot in photoshop =_= i got a new fancy grey paper sketchbook that i love! but the paper does not withstand my horrible abuse so well D8I made Jamie stay up all night cuz I was drawing this till the sun rose every time i worked on it. yep XDD
This is actually a redo of the drawing i posted earlier. I tried the shading using refs and it just did NOT work out. for some reason I got it to work much better without them
so if anything's wonky you know why XD But yeh, Jamie has lotsa trees around his house yus! and they makes shadows. Anywho, thats all i think! Other than I may be coloring it later maybe? dunno yet!

Man, I want to do that. Sorry, but imitation is the best form of flattery, right? Well, let me just say that your mastery of tone rocks, your composition is gorgeous and dramatic, and I am totally in love with your whole gallery. Thanks for sharing the talent with us!

Ooh, you use light so well. Great mood. I like the tree shadows on walls.
But to me, it looks more like night, as if the light comes from streetlamps or car headlights. I like it that way.

I really like the composition of this. The shading is brilliant, & I think it has a slightly eerie or tense atmosphere maybe.

This is fantastic! wow, there are so many values with is so nice. I find it hard to get good values when i do charcoal, for some reason i just don't do enough, but you did a great job. There is so much dimension and the detail is amazing. Great Job! but don't color it! it sets such a great mood with the black and white. =]

thanks so much! i was really trying for a wide range this time, feel like ive been limiting myself a bit lately. I find charcoal really difficult too actually. But I find using a regular 2B pencil is easiest to get every value, using all those different hard and soft lead pencils doesn't do much for me. Charcoal is so intense right off the bat, but pencil, you got time to work it into a range of values =3

This piece is chock full of detail and texture - everything from the t-shirt to the curtains and skin. It radiates so much atmosphere. 
An instant

I'm really envious of the subtle changes in shade you got here; when I try to do pieces like this I'm too heavy-handed and don't notice until it's too late... XD;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thank you!!! maybe you should give toned paper a try? =3 i know it helps me a lot more with subtleties.

hehe, I use toned paper sometimes and still...I guess I just need to practice more XD;
