One of my favorite aspects I like about your work is your attention to detail with the eyes. You not only draw the eyes skillfully, but capture the actual anatomy, muscle movement, and surface texture of the eye area. The eyes are definitely center stage in this drawing, and all those details add up to the intensity and madness behind them.

I followed the link, and though I couldn't find the actual story, I did note that it was about the darker history of this location. This drawing sums up the hidden, frightening nature behind violence and the mysterious identity of some of these perpetrators- and how the perp identifies himself with the violence he commits (i.e., eyes reflected in razor).

One thing that is successfully executed is how you have set the eyes inside this razor, depicting the reflective surface of the razor by defining the edges and adding those streak marks in different places. It's the right touch that doesn't take away too much from the eyes, but depicts nicely exactly what the object it is. The blood stains are also carefully composed with the razor and eyes, again not too much- and I love that upper drip that brings out the flatness of the razor's surface.

Great work contrasting the different tones of the graphite, making for a dynamic composition. I thought at first that it was centered a bit much in the page. Though, the drips offset that, giving a little more weight to the bottom.

Again great work, and great gallery overall.
