Baby butt done in charcoal

I've never really worked with charcoal much before except maybe for a few test or jut messing with it and I'm  little sad my highlights didn't come out too well in the photo. It's nicer in real life, honest! It was a flustering and yet interesting experience. Flustering because I really didn't know what I was doing but interesting (and a bit fun) once I got a slim idea of what to do. The original photo of this baby butt can be found in a national geographic magazine. Sadly I don't own the copy and cannot say which one I do know it had pandas on the cover!

Charcoal was the only material used this time!

A project for class, a shell drawn and colored with multiple materials.
From top to bottom,
Prisma Color Markers
Water color
Acrylic/some gel with tiny beads
Color Pencil
It's so, so and I really wasn't too into it now but it's done at least!

First draft and larger, painted final of a personal project I'm working on. I'm iffy with it. I lost a lot of detail in the hair and the lighting makes the skin just look all orange! (Trust me it's not) It's not done just yet. I have to re-paint the blood and black background than make the lyrics larger! Woo, a lot of work but it's worth getting my own ideas out.

Both done with 0.5 lead and red 0.7

There is love in your body but you can't hold it in
It pours from your eyes and spills from your skin
Tenderest touch leaves the darkest of marks
And the kindest of kisses break the hardest of hearts
