Salvador Dali charcoal

First charcoal drawing attempted here,never really messed with them and they are messy heh.I will be using them more-they are alot quicker than pencil or prismacolor drawings.I know the hands are huge but it was a perspective thing,hopefully that comes through. 14" x 17 Bristol board,General charcoal black and white pencils.

DARN ! I HATE IT WHEN I MISS SPELL THINGS... HAD TO COME BACK AND TELL YOU HOW GREAT THIS IS TOO. Can't correct mistakes anymore. Darts! " You touched the chords and played along"...that was that last line...not... played the along. Anyway..good excuse to tell you I admire your skill. Sal Va Dor! I adored this eccentric Dude! He was and still is a great inspiration to many. Looks like you honored him in the style he is accustomed to. Have a GREAT and Mighty DAY, Chris!

It's hard for most people to get any fine detail at all with charcoal, and you have so much. All the details look perfect, especially his face... and I love the texture of the pants. Oh, and the shirt! I didn't even notice that at first, and it might be my favorite part. The range of contrast gets me. I can't wait to see more of this charcoal business.

I can see the perspective. But I am more drawn to his face and cane than anything else. Wonderful expression. Charcoal is an interesting medium. I haven't messed with it too much myself either but I understand the ease of it in comparrison to graphite. Beautifully done image.
