Other people have threads like this, so I figured I'd make one!
It's basically a thread where I'll dump all my HTTYD art as I do it.
YAY!

I went to the art store last weekend and bought charcoal pencils and last night I drew this.
A little piece of advice- don't draw in the dark.
Comments/criticism?

also yay 200th post

That one is good!
Suggestion : I can see your pencil "trails"(?) above mouth and above left from eye. Maybe make it more smooth will give better looks? Otherwise, it's good.

I think you're better than me

Thanks for the advice, I'll try to smoothen the lines out/erase them better in the future.

Aww, I'm sure you're a good artist, too!

Nice art!

Thanks!
I hate using them because my hand smears the stuff all across the page while I'm drawing.

Are you left-handed?? Because the common drawing problem with charcoal pencil is

this

xD, actually no, I'm right-handed. But as I fix little details or color over other stuff, I constantly brush my fingers across what I've already done and it's so frustrating because then it's all over my hand.
Like in the thing I did above, I did the pupil last, and my hand pressed against the paper several times around the eye, which is why it's gray near the pupil.

From the little experience I do have with charcoals usually what I do when going back over what I have already drawn, is place a sheet of clean paper under my hand. That way I only smudge the clean sheet of paper and not the actual drawing.

Nice job
