Julius Caesar drawing progression

He took about 30 hours to draw, but I'm finally finished with my charcoal drawing of Julius Caesar. Although there were a couple times I was a little tired of gazing at him, all in all I never got bored of working on this drawing. Here's the picture progression from the block-in phase all the way to the final modeling stage. I'm pretty pleased with the results considering it's only my third drawing in classical drawing style.

I was so happy to put in the background so he would stand out a bit more.

 

He got a little googly-eyed at this stage.

Eventually, I got the eye to the right spot on his head.

 

The final version...I shot this at home with different lighting, hence the color shift.
