Artist's Comments

This is the 5th drawing in my "Heros of the Faith" series. This will be a series of 7-10 men who have devoted their lives to ministry.
This drawing is 10x14 and is done with black charcoal on a smooth granite paper.

**I'm not sure this is done yet. I always add the white charcoal, but I wanted to get some feedback on it with only black. Also, I am using a different paper this time. It is very smoothe and is easier to draw on, but it is very unforgiving.

Let me know what you think. Photo stinks, but you must realize that my new Indian name is "Chief Bad Light King"

thanks, how do you think the image compares to the others in the series? I would like to know if I should add the white or leave it black only.

Aww... He looks so aweet and old-man like. ^__^ I like the new Indian name. Suits you. Anyway, I saw this in the classroom, and I think that it looks good the way it is. I really see no reason to add white, actually, since I like how the paper color goes with the black. It isn't too light, or too dark. Did you lighten this pic any? 'Cause if it looks like this right now, I'd say leave it alone.

>.> But that's just me.

You know I didn't even know the white was missing. I kind of like it this way. The drawing looks softer. The white sometimes adds a harsh contrast.
