2nd Entry for Dec 3, 2010

The top image was done on 20 x 30" cartridge paper with a Prismacolor art stick.
The lower three are all using soft graphite sticks on 18 x 24" Japanese paper, and were in the 15 - 20 minute range. The seated figure was all right, but the two head studies were much less successful. They have a bit of the shape of G-  's face, but I have done a lot better.

That happens - a stretch of drawing flames out and the results are weak.  Two days before was a really good portrait day, so these stood in particular contrast. But as always, I enjoy the trying - even if the results don't pan out.
