Demon dude drawing

I got hugely inspired by Steven zapata's work recently, so I decided to make a drawing like one of his. I guess that's the first time I make a long pencil drawing like that. Any thoughts or feedback? I still gotta figure out how to make the background more clear. And I think I should have pushed the pose more to get a feeling that he is leaning on the "pillar". Anyways, that was really fun to make.

Its kinda fading in to the background, I would try to push the darks to Silhouette the figure better. Otherwise its pretty good. :)

Yep! I'll keep that in mind on the next one. Thanks!

Yeah as soon as I saw it I immediately thought of Zapata's drawings. I'm a beginner so I don't really have anything critical to say other than the fact this looks really cool!

Try to make the shadows darker so you have a clear separation between shadow and light, and also by doing that you'll have more value range available in the lights to render forms in halftone. Steven Zapata always says that you can always make the shadows darker! in pencil we tend to think we've already gone dark enough but you can almost always push it more.

Thanks for the tip!! ^^ I actually tried to make the shadows as dark as possible without pressing too hard on the paper. I guess I should have used a darker pencil.
