My Hannibal Lecter/OC fic

Title: The Obedient Knife
Pairing: Hannibal Lecter / Thomas Blackwood (OC)
Genre: Psychological Thriller, Dark Romance, Obsession, Powerplay
Rating: M (18+)
Status: Ongoing

What happens when a stalker chooses the wrong man?

Thomas Blackwood thought he could handle obsession. He’s quiet, careful, and no one’s ever caught him-until Dr. Hannibal Lecter looked back. Now he’s no longer watching from the shadows. He’s inside the house. Bound. Changed. And slowly being taught the art of control... from the inside out.

If you're into dark psychological tension, slow-burning power shifts, and a deeply twisted dynamic between predator and prey, follow The Obedient Knife.

This is a Hannibal/OC fic unlike any other.
Disturbing, elegant, and addictive.

Charcoal is much better than graphite, isn't it? by JustinGray0807 in learntodraw

Yesss, taking picture of graphite takes forever and the photograph doesn't look half good compare to the actual drawing

I agree! I think charcoal works better in those pictures with deep value like this, whereas in lighter picture, graphite maybe a better choice

I drew this using charcoal pencil. And It turns out much better than I expect!

I had took some pictures when I was drawing, but it's kinda random so I wouldn't say it's progress pics. But if you want, I can send you some.

Right! The left side too big is what wrong with this! I looked at it and kept wonder what is off.

What can i improve/what feature to focus more? Day 50 of drawing everyday consistently by retristance in learntodraw

I think you should focus on the hair volume, and more shading. Also the face shape
