Ar...

I looked through your posted work and I'm curious if you've ever tried working with charcoal? You can get some really dynamic tones if you learn to switch off using vine and compressed charcoal with a few different types of erasers. Pencils are nice because the fine tip forces you to focus on those details, but learning how to get those details with charcoal can be really rewarding when you figure out a way to get those darks down really hard. Given the medium though, there's really nothing I can say about this other than good job!

Etheria responds:

ahhh charcoal.. I've experimented with it before when I went to art school over the summer. I'm not too fond of it yet - its quite temperamental and difficult to control, but you're right, you can achieve a greater range of shades from it. I shall try again :]

hmmm...

I still can't tell if he's a man or a woman... it's a great portrait, the contrast though very specific is purposeful and adds a nice dynamic... but his features are almost as feminine as his behavior. When it comes right down to it, I still think you two are playing games with us... Soro is actually a girl. I took off one point for drawing her with facial hair. Girls don't have that.

What about those bearded ladies at carnivals?
