Pencil Study

Already I can see where I kept trying to tighten up the drawing. Next is to do a color study right over this drawing.

Back Again

Charcoal and chalk

Here's my favorite from the same session, same model. I don't shy away from doing faces, not at all, but it's almost as though drawing without the presence of the face leads to something unexpectedly pleasing. Not sure why; because her identity is removed and the who and the what and the why becomes more open-ended, less literal?
