Black Tower Studios

This is a drawing I did a few years ago and having a scanner now I can somewhat piece it together in photoshop for display purposes.
The original is 20"x30" Charcoal and Conte on paper.
The title is The Forsaken. I was reading a lot of Robert Jordan at the time.
Can't you tell?
this is the kind of portraiture i was doing at the end of artschool, it's time consuming and hard as hell on the hands. I drew thousands of little lines to create the tones. I did not smudge or blend with my fingers.
