Impressive charcoal work, very well shown difference in shadowing face and helmet, with monochrome work it is difficult to reflect it but you managed it very well. I like the lips and little wrinkles around along the lips. Very precise border between light and dark values. Well done!
Hello Stef! Although I could see the shadows in the original image, I also wanted to use common sense and pronounce the shadows well so that in black and white they are more attractive. Thanks!
