well, there is nothing much to say about it. I made this just to
practice with my charcoal material. As I never used it, I didn't know much
about how the shadings and blending of charcoal works. So to start with I
referred a very easy picture from internet in which I don't have to make much
of the anatomy and I can try shading hairs and eyes to know how to use
charcoal.
I had a mixed experience of using charcoal. When I put the first stroke, it was very hard to handle it(soft or hard) but after learning its know how it became very easy to use it.

Firstly, I love the texture of charcoal more than graphite and
secondly I love the deep rich blacks that I can get with charcoal.
On the other hand, it’s very messy to work with, but two towels, one wet to clean my fingers with and one dry to dry them off with really helps keep the mess under control.

After school, this was the first time when I made this sketch. That was a day when I was having summer vacations from my college. I was so bored with the daily routine that I thought to praise other artist's work on some social networking site. I got loads of inspirations from budding and professional artists while surfing different profiles. I wasn't able to stop myself from sketching and trying my hand on it. I randomly took the pencil lying nearby and referred a picture of an angel from the internet and started making it. I wasn't very much aware of blending and proportions while making a sketch that time. I just wanted to have a little fun doing sketching to overcome my boredom. But I was so happy with what I came out in the end, been away from drawing since a very long time :)
I hope you will like it !!
