Man Reading a book

12" x 9" Charcoal on Grey Paper

Last Wednesday the model for the portrait session at Howard Lyon's studio brought along a book to read as we drew or painted him. You'd think that would make it easier to draw the subject, but even something as small as the model moving his eyes from one page to the next changes his appearance. That creates a challenge, but you learn to deal with it. The picture above is how I dealt with it.
