Amazing how much realism and depth you can create :3Β 
I would love to see this drawing in real life on an exhibition.
I wish I knew how did you draw Gandalf's beard so realistic,
I have difficulties with drawing curly hair in a mess like his beard and I wonder if you have maybe a photo ofΒ 
how it looked in the middle of the process to show me, that would really help me to learn to draw :3Β 
Btw it's one of my biggest dreams to visit your country, I live in England but I hope one day
I will visit New Zealand :3Β

thank you very much!
I posted a lot of wips of this on my tumblr:
1 Β 2 Β 3 Β 4

this is just a few of them, you can see more if you look through the gandalf tag on my blog
It was basically a process of layers upon layers of beard squiggles, plus its quite a large piece so you can get more detail in

its one of my dreams to visit england (and scotland and ireland) one day hopefully we can both achieve our dreamsΒ

OMG I had no idea you drew it with charcoal first and then painted and used so many different
media Β 
Β I'm a bit shocked.
Thank you very much for showing me, I will learn from that a lot :3Β 

Really? Then I wish you to come here one day and I wish myself to come to New Zealand :3
Btw I love Kiwi accent.
