Never seen anyone draw top to bottom. Is this common for charcoal or just how you like to do it? Looks spectacular, btw.

Could be to prevent smudging of the charcoal with their hand.

Don't you just use a stick of some sort to rest your hand on? I have never seen anyone draw like this, in fact, I don't understand how you could get the layout correct.

If you zoom in you can see light sketches of the beard and jawline. So, seemingly they did a full rough sketch and then went back to do the real work from top to bottom.

I did not notice that. It looks amazing.

Thank you! I appreciate your comment. I start with the initial sketch and work my way down section by section. It’s just a personal preference. I also like to work in this way as it helps prevent smudging.

Seems like printer drawing, a few people will do it, most of the time they have an outline before starting
