the tiny white hairs are made using a staedtler eraser... the black shades are soft charcoal... which is why it turned out deep black... i have a charcoal powder which helped me reduced the number of working hours with the aid of a firm chinese brush... for more questions see my shading techniques...

I love Hugh Jackman so much, and the way he portrayed Wolverine was great... i learned to love the character because of him... this is one the most challenging portraits i've ever done for i don't have charcoal powder... that i actually have to reduce the charcoal pencil into something like that of dust so i can use the brush and apply to the linen paper...
