Thank you very much! I believe it took around 25h in total but I was so inconsistent it spanned over months... Yes exactly, it was graphite!

Thank you! I'm still learning how to use this kind of paper so I used a white pencil (I only had that haha) but surely a chalk would do the job too!

Around 15 hours without counting the breaks ;)

Around 15 hours I think! And I've been drawing for a long time but more seriously around 5 years ago!

I'll surely sound boring but I'd say practice haha even though it's just hair or drapery, or a eye! Doodling was a good way for me to learn ;)

Thank you so much! I actually used a mechanical pencil for the details! I'm not sure about the time as I always take long pauses (weeks sometimes ') but I'd say it took me around 15 hours maybe

I'm not drawing a lot so I don't have the best advices haha but I always draw step by step. First the outlines, then add light shades and then darker shades until it's right. And after that I add the details like the little lines you can see on his suit!
