Gosh... This is SO good! I love it! So much better than my version of this picture. Lol.
And only six hours? You work fast. It takes me forever to draw something that detailed. xD

Hey, your is really quite good! Pencils are different than charcoal...for one, the lines don't get erased completely! which is why I messed up on the face a little. I love charcoal anyway
Ah... six hours means I can't really work on something for really long, due to my stupid lack of patience. eh meaning i spent two months on and off working on it

Baww, thanks. ^-^; And really? Wow. I've never used charcoal, so I wouldn't know. xD Is it easy to work with other than having erasing issues?
Haha, I definitely know that feeling. I was like that with my Dillinger and Dr. Reid portraits. xD It took months to finally finish them. o-o Sometimes I can get something done within two or three days, but only if that is the only thing I do. >>

Heh... charcoal is very messy if you use your fingers to smooth and spread it, like me. Then my fingers stay black for hours... Heheh... helps if you have one or two hours on hands because I really get messy with all the supplies and stuff.
Yeah... some days I get quick little half hour sketches done when I freeze the screen, and sometimes with big stuff that isn't just pencil, I work for weeks and weeks on it.. yeah XD
