Tutorial:drawing with charcoal

for those of you who are interested in seeing how I draw a male portrait in charcoal, step for step.
(this one is Alex Suarez, who I drew recently) sorry I didn't have the room to get into detail about how I handle certain things like (eyes, lips, noses, beards, stubble, winkles, etc.) there wasn't enough room in this one.

this is my first tutorial, so forgive me if the gray background is not consistent (as it should be). If you have any questions at all, ask away. I'll be happy to help.
