Description
The first of "the Damned" series. Charcoal on paper, inverted. The paper wrinkles can represent some form of invisible fire that's consuming the figure. They are there by accident, but I like how there's more of them in the bottom.UPDATE: I rescanned the pic and then reload it because I liked how the original looked better and to make the invisible fire more visible.
This drawing first started out as a self portrait; but I feel this is a lot more emotional than my face.
Any comments greatly appreciated. Any ideas for improvement are welcome.

..Oooh, that is delightfully chilling. I definitely love the colours, and I like how there's a lot of blankspace towards the top, it makes it look like the figure is coming up from the bottom of the frame--or maybe falling. Verynice. ^_^

Oh my god, this is excellent! I love the expression and the teeth. The image is so striking with the white-on-black. Even though the subject is dark and macabre, the image itself is still very accessible and 'friendly' to look at.

thanks!! You're one of the few that don't see this image as threatning. He is completely helpless

Tu manejo de las sombras en los negativos se está vovliendo mucho más definido y pulido, lo que le da cierta suavidad. esto es un claro indicador de que estás mejorando notablemente tu técnica, y te felicito. Pero recuerda que muchas veces el sombreado suave puede quitarle interés a la obra ( este no es el caso), y que las luces y sombras violentas pueden añadir carácter y fuerza , y las indefinidas cierto misterio. Me resultó algo difícil notar el "fuego invisible" pero ahora que lo veo es bastante interesante. Me gustan los detalles en la mano (creo que has notado que me encantan las manos), pero o que más me gusta es la composición en general. El blanco y negro es perfecto para esta pieza.

muchas gracias. En esta pieza quize hacer todas las sombras suaves porque, aparte de que es mas difícil para mi, quería que se viera como si la figura estuviera desapareciendo. Muchas gracias por las sugerencias, eso es lo que voy a hacer para las próximas piezas de esta serie.

That hand seem really dangerous
I like that mouth and the eyes

The black and white is the perfect tone for this one

If this started out as a self portrait you must have a weird head, JK. No really this is really cool. and i don't see the invisible fire.

oops... well that's the point of the invisible fire!! JK but if you look close enough you'll see some wrinkles on the paper.
I didn't like the self portrait, so I substituted it with a doodle I started in class
