Comments by the artist
This drawing came out well even though I was quite tired when I started it. I put a lot of effort into the shading and I tried to vary the intensity of the outlines depending on if that area of the body was in shadow or not.
One regret is that I didn't draw the stool in, it looks like he is awkwardly crouching in space which of course he wasn't! A picture like this will always look better if the pose seems relaxed, without the stool it looks a bit odd.
See a more detailed version of Man seated with hands on stool (Rendered charcoal drawing) on my new website.
