Beautiful drawing, Lacey. Masterful handling in all aspects!
Was this graphite with touches of white?

Christy, I have been watching your thread on drawing children with life. Good for you, and I think the drawing you posted there is beautiful! Thank you for the kind words.

Alexandra, congrats on the American Artist Cover Competition! Thank you.

Carlos, thank you. Actually, this is charcoal with white, no graphite. I may have photographed it a little light, but most of it was done with willow charcoal. It's on blue/gray toned paper.

Lacey, very skillfully executed! He jumps from the surface, and I can really feel the substance of the head.

Very nice drawing, Lacey. I love the various textures and the transparency of the beard.
