Charcoal on canvas, 120 x 100 cm (47" x 40")


EDIT: Rephotographed the drawing. Still not perfect but closer to the original I think.

And thanks all so much for all your comments and kind words!

Help!! I need help on hair lol..So let me get this straight..you use whitl charcoal over pencil or do you erase the pencil and replace it with the chalk? Great stuff could you check out mine if you get time? My goal is to get to your status someday thats what keeps me practicing.

Hard to believe this is charcoal, just never seen this kind of detail done in that medium, and now I see why my G+ friend is so impressed, Ian Andrews sent me here, he follows your work & now so do I. Shared this one out to the above links as well as G+ manually. Amazing!!! That water looks so real, like a photography minimum.

Is there a reason you sign your name with all capitalization? I had heard that artist are supposed to sign art this way and was wondering if there is any truth to it. Amazing piece btw. Thanks -Ry
