The black ink the eyes: Is this your fingerprint?

All in all it looks like a foto negative. Nice work!

Thanks! In the eyes you see the pure texture of the charcoal, without any blending / smudging.

That's interesting. I don't know much yet about working with charcoal properly to achieve some reasonable outcomes. Everytime I tried it out...you know...some basic shapes like spheres or cubes to play around with charcoal...smudging here and there...it doesn't come out so well. Hmm, but I think everyone began somehow like that, isn't it...๐Ÿ˜‰.

Oh I still have to scrap a lot of paper until I get something right! And even then I have to pivot and go with happy accidents more often than not :)

So you didn't accidentally post your fingerprint so we could use it for nefarious purposes? Dang it!
