Artist's Comments

o_O I don't know how to use charcoal to my advantage, and I have to use that for my art-making-assignment thingy. But other than that...

Ivan~ :heart: Again. >_> Can't remember what I was intentionally planning, but I quite like this. I do believe his head is a little funny... though... I actually enjoyed messing around with colouring his hair and trying to blend it all in. Did it actually work? o_O The swirliness and stars around it ended up there after I was given highlighters to mess around with. :shrug: Whatever.

Used: Mechanical pencil, charcoal, colour pencils... <_<

nice effect with charcoal. combining elements really brings out the best in a drawing.

It kinda worked...Pretty charcoal, was it the kind of charcoal you burn? -pokes- The way you make the effect, its like those, how do you say, faraway effect?

I don't think you did too badly at all.
It exceeds my ability with charcoal.

Since I started watching your art I have always liked the way you draw and colour eyes. This work maintains your eye style very well. Anyways I think your work with charcoal came out well. There's a nice overall feel to this work and the "wash" effect you got from the charcoal I think is part of it.

I don't see anything wrong with the head as far as I can tell.

Is that winter clothing he's wearing? It looks thick and warm. I could use some right now since my apartment heater is in "too-cold" mode again and I'm pessimistic about turning it up lest it goes to "too-hot" mode. See my apartment heater, though it has a variable-temperature thermostat knob, seems to have two settings: too-hot and too-cold. Just-right seems to be an elusive setting I cannot find on the dial.

Ive never used charcol so unfortunately I cant giv you a lot of advice. But from what I can tell this looks very good. The charcol looks like it made the outer lines bolder giving it a cell shaded effect.
This is honestly a great peice, youre definately getting better. :glomp:

I don't... actually know. I suppose so (are there any other forms of charcoal around that I've never heard of?) O_o? Faraway effect? Really? Who would have thought? :XD:

^^ Thank you so much for the comment, and glad you liked it :glomp: I think your heater has some issues going on there, though >_> (But I get what you mean. It's odd...)
