Hehe ugly and gloomy, the gloomy part was an accident. It was supposed to look like its in a really bad mood, but half way through completion (final rendering part) its expression suddenly turned gloomy (emo XD ), weird no? XD
It was all thanks to Alan Lee's doodle/scribble like technique, aaand i dont usually smudge most of my pencil drawings thats why it has that texture like effect on it, hehe
Hmm... i dont use charcoals, not very good with it, can't control the messy part. I use graphite pencils 2B. (blunt side for rendering) And .5 mechanical pencil, also with a 2B lead for the details. Then change the darkness/lightness in photoshop (Image-Adjustments-Levels), thats why it bacame this dark.
Had fun drawing him,it. XD
I wish I could draw with that much detail, you rock
