I fear one day my skin will become translucent and metallic. My veins hanging from narrow bones. Deep wrinkles covered in flakes of dandruff. Laundry-Mat smells like sterile musk. Dust bunny hair is trimmed in cloths left by the last person who died. Calmly shaking is unconscious shaking, the paradox of the mechanical walker playfully adorned with tennis balls, "I want one glass of warm water three fourths of the way filled, and I want two small cups of orange juice, no pulp. Third, I want two blueberry muffins, one cold, one hot." as if I'm practicing to move as slow as possible.

I do use vine charcoal but the problem with vine charcoal is that its too soft and it doesn't stick to the paper. I often use vine to do my perfect rendering such as the nose, eyes and lips.

ever actually burn wood to get your charcoal? i think it has a better texture, well if you like vine charcoal anyway.

Sometimes when I look into someones eyes, I don't want to look away. Ever.
It's never happened with an art piece before.

Ash on and old man's sleeve
Is all the ash the burnt roses leave.
Dust in the air suspended
Marks the place where a story ended.
Dust inbreathed was a house—
The walls, the wainscot and the mouse,
The death of hope and despair,
This is the death of air.
There are flood and drouth
Over the eyes and in the mouth,
Dead water and dead sand
Contending for the upper hand.
The parched eviscerate soil
Gapes at the vanity of toil,
Laughs without mirth.
This is the death of earth.
Water and fire succeed
The town, the pasture and the weed.
Water and fire deride
The sacrifice that we denied.
Water and fire shall rot
The marred foundations we forgot,
Of sanctuary and choir.
This is the death of water and fire.

Intersting. That face doesn't look like despair to me.
Still, it's a fantastic piece.

+1 for fucking spectacular work on the facial hair.
Another +1 for the composition of the nose. Very well rendered.
I still hate this medium...

Most artists that good don't just draw as a hobby. What do you do with your art?

It is a drawing because a picture wouldn't have charcoal as a medium.

Is that a drawing or a picture. If that is a drawing that is badass, the detail. man that is amazing.
If its not a drawing I will take my two points back becasue it's worthless
