12 hours!
Boy, that is commitment! I am far too impatient to take that much time on a drawing. You did a nice job. Did you enjoy it? I would have quit or tired of it before putting that much time on it.
Part of the pleasure of drawing for me is that I can get it done in a shorter period of time. However, I rarely take that long on even an oil painting. Perhaps I would be a better artist if I was more patient. Perhaps that is what makes an artist unique - his level of patience. Sometimes the longer time spent on a drawing is worth it, and sometimes it isn't. And part of good charcoal drawing, or any drawing for that matter, is knowing when it is done - knowing when to quit.
There is a drawing on this forum that took three years! So this is a quickie by his standards.
