Parasite

...the way a beautiful image stays with you...
...lodges itself inside you...
...won't be dispelled no matter how hard you try...

A4 Bristol Board
Mechanical Pencil 3.5
eraser pencil
sharpener for eraser pencil
soft real hair brush for blending finish
working time: approx. 50 hours over 4 weeks
(check the step-by-step, if you are interested)

I never thought I could stare at a single A4 paper for an entire month and still not be satisfied with the outcome 
nevertheless I believe this to be the most elaborate drawing I ever did.
next step: A3 and upward. Curious what's possible there.

anything about this that needs work? suggestions? how do you feel about it?
