Beautiful Oops

Mr Sandman, the subject of the drawing, is trapped. he knows he will go mad if he doesn't escape soon. the subject is a character in a comic im writing, and the pose i had created fit his character nicely.

i used black and white charcoal pencils to create the final project, after sketching with graphite pencil.

i started out creating a sketch to figure out the pose and how to work the ink drops into the work. after figuring out the pose, i added some details to distinguish the character. this is where i decided to make him Mr Sandman. i then colored and shaded the drawing with charcoal. after i finished the character, i shaded the background. my project wasn't originally Mr Sandman, but i made the decision to add him in after the basic sketch. My next steps would be to add a checkered floor, i feel like it would complete the vibe of the work.
