Interestingly, this is the very first time I've ever used ink lineart in a charcoal image, and I would say I still think this has more realism to it than the others I've done, and I think I would continue to do it this way.
I will say though, that I didn't notice a loss of life until I filled in the background with black. I think that really dampened the image, whether it was because of what method I used to fill it in or just what.
