A Haunting Charcoal Portrait of a 'Dead King'

This detailed charcoal drawing, titled 'Dead King,' depicts a macabre, spectral figure wearing a crown. The artwork utilizes high-contrast shading to create a ghostly appearance, featuring hollow, glowing eyes and a distorted, skull-like facial structure. The piece is rendered on paper within a spiral-bound sketchbook and is signed by the artist in the bottom right corner. The dark, moody aesthetic gives the portrait a surreal and unsettling quality, reminiscent of dark fantasy or heavy metal album art.
