I absolutely love your line work, here - especially when it comes to the creases in the man's hands and the wrinkles in his face. There's a nice balance of tight/definite and loose/gestural lines across the drawing, too. As always, your shading is excellent. I'd be interested to see the reference photo, though, as I feel as though some tight lines of detail are missing in the hat (texture-wise). Just an opinion, though. Great job.

The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved [...] the ones that never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles. -Jack Kerouac

it's not much of a constructive criticism, but...this is so epic :D really very impressive in more ways than one and if you have time to answer a possibly ignorant question, was this done with just those charcoal sticks or is there actually a range of thicknesses similar to traditional pencils that you used? I ask mainly because I've been thinking of trying to experiment with it a little bit, but it just seems so messy in comparison to graphite pencils that I wonder just what is it that all these talented artists (such as yourself) know that I don't.
