Head study

I love conté but this is not true conté crayon and I found it a bit harder to control.  The big dark area in the lower right of the drawing is where I tried to get the crayon under my command.  Not sure how well it worked.

A couple of quick sketches I'm hoping to turn into cards for our store.  Lots of fun to do.

Courage takes a break (or so it seems).

Gestures of Courage

A bit rusty but it felt good to be back at the easel with a wonderful model.

Back to drawing tonight

So it'll be time to wake up the dormant skills and get back to work.

A commission

The first prep for a commission.  Crown of thorns will be the next one.
