@stararnold:

Thank you for the comment, and even more-so for the descriptive feedback! I'm not exactly used to using the media, and don't own any kneaded erasers; I was really shooting from the hip here. Haha--thank you again, though.

@imouto chan:

Well, I'm very glad you think so! It means quite a lot to get feedback--thanks! :D

@Amestar:

Haha, thank you, Ame! :D

Charcoal can be a pain when one's hand accidently makes marks not intended as part of the coloring process, especially when little piece drop and make makes. Usually, you need a fixative to get the charcoal-colored areas to stay as they are. Apart from that, your charcoaling allows a few grey shades to appear on the hair, and overall, the headshot is no mess.

This is really good! Charcoal is difficult to work with, but you did very well with it c:

I think you're good at it :P
