Pencil sketch of assasins creed-character drawing/shading study-showing the process step by step

Hello there, its been about four days since i shared another art. That's because i have been working on a single sketch for the past four days.

Was this sketch that hard? not really but i did it slowly. I wanted it to look very good. I will talk about this some more but lets see the art first.

So i was wondering what to draw then i thought i should draw this. Assassins creed is the first game i ever truly loved playing.
I played some normal games but this was the first nice looking game i played on a java mobile. and i was obsessed with this game for a while.

So i decided to draw this. It wasn't easy but it wasn't that hard either. But i took my time to draw this. I really want to create art that looks realistic but i don't have the elements that i need to create smooth and blended art.

But i tried my best and its a rough pencil sketch.
First of all it took a long time to get the outlines, to get the shape right.
Once i get the shape right, i used hb pencil to do the first layer of shading. There are places on that sketch that i had to go over more than 6 times to give them more darker or lighter shading.
6b pencil used for the darkest part of the drawing.
.5mm 2b mechanical pencil for the very thin lines and to mark the very thin highlighted part.
2b pencil is used to shade the 2nd darkest part of the drawing.

Because it took a very long time to draw so it also took a lots of shots....
Good for the viewers, they get to see the process in very detail.

So that was todays art, let me know if you like it. all kinds of criticism are appreciated.
