Portrait #9

Portrait #9 by Emmy Cheeseburger
Portrait #9, a photo by Emmy Cheeseburger on Flickr.
9 of 100 portraits are complete! I decided that every tenth picture, I want to draw a famous person. I accepted the suggestion of Westley from the Princess Bride. We found a picture of confusion as Westley lies, strapped to the torture device. "It's the pit of despair. Don't even..." *hack hack* "Don't even think about escaping."

Thank you very much! It felt so good to work on a portrait after such a long lull. I just got a charcoal set that I'm going to use for my next portrait. Any advice? I've never used charcoal before.
