I'm looking forward to practicing with this medium more, I used to love it but I haven't done anything with it in years.

Good work. You really nailed the softer shaded areas. You must be very patient to fill out a whole scene like this in detail.

Very satisfying to look at. Makes me want to hunt down my own charcoal sticks and take a jab at some mark making...
