Incredible progress. This is the lamest sounding phrase ever - but you're such an inspiration.

Your tones and depth are much better in this version, you can see the progress, although the other one is nothing to sneeze at

compared to that of yours from the past, I would say this one have a bolder, freer treatment.

Great organic quality to the lines. It feels like stone and a living person at the same time!

Not that there is anything wrong with this one, but I honestly like the first one more..

Eye of the beholder and all, I suppose.

well, the value in the last one was done with only ink washes, so if you prefer that look I can see why you might like that one better.

I think the technical execution of this one is far superior though... *shrugs*

Is the statue in front of the Parliament of Vienna?
I was there last march... [link] (I only have uploaded this photo).

Great work!

you are most correct. Though the part I drew is on the OTHER side of the pillar

your line making is very pleasant and goes along well with your shading style. Even though you have a pretty even grey tone, this one can be labeled as Chiaroscuro drawing. Great job, always look forward to seeing your works
