I had such high hopes for this drawing. I used a paper that Loren Entz gave to me and for some reason I thought it would be a magical solution. I struggled with the soft, rag nature of the texture and I wasn't able to push the charcoal like I wanted. I'm not done with this piece. I think I will break out the blending stumps (I haven't used them since my first couple of years in college) to see if I can get the tones I'm looking for. I measured and measured and then re-measured the head in relation to the figure and I still am not happy with what I came up with. I'm not sure if it is the slumped pose that is throwing me off or if I am just going blind. Alas, this is how it sits at the moment.
