Here's a charcoal drawing I did about eight months ago. It's of 'Abdu'l-Baha, drawn from a photo that was taken in a Paris studio in 1911, I believe. It's a marvelous photo and it turned out to be the first decent drawing I'd done in years.
I did a couple of this type of drawings in the months leading up to this one. I worked out a lot of problems in those "false starts" - a valuable experience. This one I'm quite happy with. There are a few things I could modify a bit, but nothing huge. Anyway, it's in a gallery near here, beautifully framed, waiting for its future (generous) owner to take it home.
