Charcoal on newsprint.

Big form studies

As the title says, these little oil studies have only the big forms of the head; no detail and no small forms. Comparable to a basic clay sculpture before finishing details are added... no irises, eyelashes, eyebrows, or nostrils, and simplified forms in the hair.

Oil on canvas. 6 X 8 in. Burnt umber & white. This is a gesture sketch, done in one hour. Pretty sketchy and loose, but good training. Especially for someone who tends to be a perfectionist.

Charcoal on drawing pad. 11 x 14 in.

This paper has too much tooth for the drawing technique I used (shading with the side of the charcoal). So it's pretty grainy. A learning experience, as all of these drawings are.
