I love to see a fellow drawer (Graphite is my preferred choice) exhibit pieces such as this...elevates the medium to a level of artistry is so deserves, yet rarely receives! Your draftsmanship, detail, and mastery of Positive/negative space - gradation of light to dark (very difficult to achieve using charcoal/conte)are highly developed. I must confess, this piece tends to instill a twinge of envy within me ....wish I had created this piece myself. Kudos!!
