"...cant tell if im asleep or im awake, il just sit n wait..." domo genesis!

This is a self portrait of me obviously. I went back to the basics and used graphite for the entire piece. I don't quite feel like it's completely finished but I dont know what to add.. any suggestions?

Did you use graphite on grey paper? Needs more contrast! Maybe paint the paper white? Make darker parts darker?

Definitely think you should use a 2B or darker pencil to go over most of it for contrast. I love the lack of white paper, it's much more unique that way. But... it's flat. You could use a layout pencil, that would definitely darken it up. Or charcoals, but that's a severe commitment.
