I love the way your lightest lights and darkest darks came out in the details. Very fine work!

I've always seen the problem where graphite and charcoal don't work well together... with the color tints, sheen, and values... but this looks quite fine!
I haven't yet to draw a skull from life, but when my college makes me, I hope it looks up to par with this. Nice work!

You've got to keep in mind the strengths and weaknesses of both mediums, and plan your work before you begin. I used the graphite for my lay in, since it's easier to get accurate, fine lines without it being too dark. I used charcoal for the modeling up to the lighter values, then used the graphite for the lighter shades.

Thanks and good luck at school!

Looks like something you could find in a DaVinci sketchbook. Very well done

Thanks- Although I think DaVinci could have done it in 30 minutes freehand. hahahaha
