The Inspiration
I created this piece around six months after my new found love for charcoal portraiture. Also at this time, I had people in my life that were sneaky, deceitful, and charming. All qualities of those things being the qualities of a snake.
The Technique
For this drawing, I completely covered the page with a thick layer of charcoal and eliminated it with a kneaded eraser. This solely consists of compressed charcoal and a kneaded eraser.
