"Why don't you say so?
I think I'm caught in between The nights and days fly by When I'm lost on the streets And my eyes, they despise you for who I am Why don't you say so? Why don't you say so? Give up and let go I'm just a boy with a dream And you can take one look As I fall in between With my eyes just as wide as my mouth can be Why don't you say so? Why don't you say so? I know, I know, I know That there's a place for me somewhere out there I know, I know, I know That there's a place for me somewhere out there..." from Poppin' Champagne Alex Gaskarth singer and guiatrist, All Time Low charcoal drawing 4 hours this photo reference is from the underwear shoot, wish I could draw them on his head  here's the pic: [link]best viewed full size Comments I must fave this.

Critiques
Vision:
This category doesn't really apply to your work; it's a portrait. This it does a fine job at.
Originality:
Portraits have been done before, and what I'm guessing is charcoal on a midtone paper isn't exactly a new technique... but this isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Technique:
This is the category in which your piece shines. Both the composition, pose, shading, and contrast are phenomenal. It looks like it could use a little more detail, but I believe it would lose some of its charm if it were.
Impact:
Like I said before, the eyes grab my attention instantly. The pose (while probably referenced from a publicity photo) looks as if someone had just tapped him on the shoulder. The soft focus from the smudging also adds to its memorability.
All in all. A great piece. Definitely something you should be proud of.
