Jean, the point is not to start over rather to work with what you have. Please do not be discouraged for you have a excellent drawing to work on. Sure this is paper and working with charcoal rather than oily charcoal pencils is a good thing.

It is not simple to give a detailed critique from a distance. So, we do the best we can always keeping in mind that the artist must learn to see. Think of it this way. when a critique is available it is the duty of the artist to see other areas where the same instruction can be applied. This helps to develop ones powers of observation.

Many artists think that by throwing paint around or charcoal around a master peace will evolve somehow. Trashcans are full of such ideas. On the other hand if one wishes success, with a drawing or painting, planing and patience must be exercised.

When working with charcoal one must be patient and pick out the dots that do not fit or add dots that need to be there. Don't rush it and you will reach your goal.

All the best to you.
