I really like the detail and the amount that is going on in the image, i also love the shading and lines made by the medium (charcoal). Not only does this drawing look amazing it has a meaning behind the image.








Here is another illustration of his, usually he takes birds heads and adds them onto the body of a human. This looks rather effective especially with the dark charcoal and huge amount of detail.
