Charcoal on Christmas Eve (Winter)

Well,  after a fab idea by Lizy yesterday to make Charcoal a little Christmas-y, I decided to take him through all the seasons, so here is Winter....

Before printing him off, I removed the Bat and Spider with Photoshop and trimmed off the grass at the bottom.

Spring and summer will follow later in the week I'm sure....
