Portrait Drawing

A. Portrait Sketch
18 x 24
Charcoal heightened with chalk on large sheet of studies.
Sheet of drawings meant to explore posing the head.
Not sight-size.

This is the sort of study I do when I go into a session knowing I have only two 2.5 hour sessions with a model. I move faster than I'd like: by that I mean that I go into modelling small forms without being absolutely sure about the big forms, and so, any charm is only on the surface.

In "real" work (an extended drawing) I'd always rather balance the truth of the structure with the charm of the surface.
