I like the effect, but I thyink you're outlining the rose a little too much, you can tell it's very...sketched (for a lack of a better word xD). I think you should try to use shading and shadows a bit more rather than outlining :3
that is some very useful advice merci! I will certainly keep it in mind... although in my defense I started using charcoal only last year - so I guess I'm still learning the ropes
