Sorry it's not a super quality pic, but here's a traditional conte piece I did for homework in a drawing class I recently took. I'm pretty happy with how this came out, although my teacher didn't seem to care for how blank I left the background, nor how liberally I applied charcoal behind the branch ahahahaha
Ineo and Sapiens are two of my favorite characters of mine to draw. They carry a lot of symbolism and lore, so I enjoy drawing them in really "mythical" settings idk
"Guilt" and its characters belong to me.
Drawn with conte, charcoal, stuff like that
Probably could have carried it throughout the image a bit better, but idk something about adding a rich slap of black around the branch really made me like this ahahaha (before adding that, I wasn't really liking how the drawing looked.) I've always seemed to like images with an "unfinished" sort of quality to them, though, so I'm likely influenced by a bad trait there lol

The charcoal does kind of throw it off, but I think the 'blank' background works great from a color balance standpoint!
