This Week's Charcoal Portrait

Charcoal on Paper 12" x 9"

This is my sketch of the woman who modeled for our drawing session last Thursday. Three-quarter or profile views with side or edge lighting are what I usually look for at these sessions. This time, though, I went for a nearly straight-on view with flat lighting. A change-up in the set-up is good every once in a while to make one think outside of any growing comfort zones.
