How academic drawing proceed...

Here is my 30+ hour drawing (unfinished). This was a parts study, and I was hoping to do serious rendering for legs. Each works represent 5 hours of work. I used charcoal pencils with toned 300 lb Arches paper.

finishing the 1st painting

My ipod camera is a horrible quality of the resolution, but anyway, here is my work finished 1st painting stage. One of the instructors always picks up the wrong value and hard/sharp edges like drives me crazy, so I was extra conscious about these points not him to say that again (yeah, he was that annoying).  In the end, it became sort of nature of my painting style, so I can't say bad about him, tho. Ha-ha. I started to 2nd painting stage and so far so good. Just take more time to refine the detail more softer and as accurate as possible to complete this project. I have no idea when I can be done... Still long way to go.
