profile


Another profile, this time of just the head.  I put a little more thought into this drawing and stayed with the style that I am comfortable with.  I used Jeremy Lipking's advice and began with the eye and worked my way out.  The broad strokes of charcoal blocked in the darks of the hair and the shadow across the face.  Line work delineated Sara's distinctive features.  I think that this is probably the most successful drawing of the night.  It's always satisfying when a drawing or painting or even just a sketch, comes together just right.
