Chantelle - Observational Drawing

I am trying to do two of these drawings each week. They are done from photo reference, and are direct observational drawings (i.e., no projection or tracing). I really like this type of drawing as I have more than 3 hours to work and the model does not move.

This is Chantelle, a model from a recent Open Studio session. Done in about 5 hours in Cretacolor sanguine.
