Charcoal on Paper

I spent the last few weeks working on this drawing. I had forgotten that drawings can be excruciatingly tedious. I spent most of the working time on this drawing just filling in holes of the paper with a sharp stick of charcoal.

This composition has been on my mind for almost a year now. I have numerous ideas fleshed out for it, in painting form, with various sizes and colors. I finally realized that black and white would be the perfect choice for pulling the crows, fabric and background cohesively together.

The model is the fabulous ScareCrowe (https://www.facebook.com/ScareCroweModel)

As always comments are appreciated. Let me know what you think.
