Completed! This took me the better part of the weekend, and I feel a great sense of solace in knowing that it is now complete. For the most part I am happy with how the drawing trned out and I think that I have worked my very hardest to produce something that exemplifies the very best of my ability. Looking back at my Tintoretto copy, I feel that I have successfully blended his unique usage of both mark and value, and I do think this looks somewhat like me, although the head is perhaps too big; then again, that perhaps adds to the realisticity! Nonetheless, this has proven to be an excellent learning and artistic experience. I gained a newfound respect in charcoal and I am now eager to continue in that medium in the future.

I've begun work on the pumpkin and face - the eyes, which are heavily narrowed and very dark in the picture, are proving difficult, as is the mouth, which I can't quite seem to do without me coming across looking like a woman. Otherwise, the carving on the pumpkin is done and I plan on finishing both that and the face soon so that I can begin on the clothing.
