Thanks all.

I am curious about your working methods and the amount of time required for a drawing of this quality.
I am still new at charcoals and am only using pencils at this point. I find myself blending in the early stages of the piece trying to find good values. As I progress, I start to add visible strokes and blend here and there if I go too strong. I finish by doing exclusively strokes.
If it helps more, I have a page on my site during this piece's development. I don't really time myself, but I believe it's around twenty-five to thirty hours.

Thanks again.
