David, this is stunning. Incredibly beautiful depiction of the various textures in this portrait! Can you elaborate on your charcoal selections? Willow, compressed, brand name, etc.?
My last three projects have been in charcoal and I can't get anything this dark, I'm so jealous. I was about to move to Nupastel and then I saw this work.
Meanwhile, I've been sitting in indecision with my Twinrocker sample book. I'd better get my order in before Chris and Sharon, those hussies, grab all the good stuff.
