   Thanx steven!
   sara, I give credit to my amazing teachers. this technique is a lot of fun it’s very close to sculpting IMO, figuring out planes and values. glad you like it:)

   Amazing technique, it looks (like you say) very close to sculpting. It’s very smooth and dusty too and I really like that.

   That’s a really cool technique … and as the others said it’s really a mix between drawing and sculpting. And it’s a nice character too. Just one question: is the brush dry or wet?
   Please make a third one!

   thanx again for the kind words everyone!

   Martin, the brush is dry and the medium is vine charcoal. paper is velum but a quality sketch paper works as well:)
