Splinterlands art contest / Graphite draw of Soul strangler

Hello friends,
I hope you are all have a wonderful week, today i bring to you my graphite drawing of the splinterlands character Soul strangler which i would be using as my entry to the splinterlands art contest. This character reminds me of several Vampires in which watched in years past. One of my favourite is Count Dracula, he has been called many names which includes the dark one. He is the strongest and the most feared vampire. This character reminds me of him.

• Reference
  
  Soul Strangler

The steps to my drawing are as follows: I used a 2B pencil for the preliminary sketch and a 10B Bianyo pencil for the main sketch. The face of the image, with its amazing folds and marks that give him a ferocious, spooky appearance along side his teeths is my favorite feature of the drawing. Its actually took more of my time than i expected but guess it's the normal drill. I always use my usual pattern which is drawing from the left to the right of the image to avoid smudging of the image. My drawing approach provides a clearer explanation.
