Amazing piece, but just so you know that is not the source of the original photo. Someone stole it and placed it on DeviantArt...

changed the source, thanks for the heads up! :D its sad that someone stole it though :(
Brutal, just... brutal.
KarylAnne responds:
glad you like it mate :)
Your work is nothing short of impressive and articulate, and I'm glad to see that you used the color of the paper as a pleasant mid-tone for the entire work.
May I asked how you managed to scan this piece? Clearly this is a huge sheet of charcoal paper.
KarylAnne responds:
Thank you! I feel as though the piece does look a bit crooked, but I'm really glad you like it! Its actually not that big, though I did originally plan to do a huge piece for it. Its about the size of an A4 paper--but just a teeny tiny bit smaller--which explains how I got to scan it.
If you're curious as to how other people upload big sized works I know most just take a high quality picture of it in good lighting. Hope that helps!
Amazing work on the details and shading. The thing that impresses me the most is the facial hair because only good artists can do that. Well done my friend.
LOVE IT , great detail , name + picture of the man = mystery
