Oh eisyc!  This is beautiful - your hand followed the forms wonderfully!  I do have a couple questions:  in your tags it says black & white, but it looks brown here??  Also, do you know what paper you used??  I am attempting to draw with charcoal & am not very familiar with the best papers to use.......

Thank You for posting this!!!

Thank you!!!   I guess I was thinking black and white because I used black and white charcoal - it is done on brown tinted paper which gives the brown color.  (I'll edit the tag)  For paper I used Strathmore 500, tinted.  The paper has a little more tooth to hold the charcoal.  Hope that helps.

Now that is a horse, not an aardvark in drag. Don't know how you do it.

Love the idea of the brown paper.  Very good!  I've got to get some of that "white" charcoal and some tinted paper.  I really like the results.
