My husband, Tom
Hello all,
This is my husband, charcoal on either Stonehenge or Strathmore. The head is life size, total dimension 13"x19". I should have marked the paper when I bought it. I picked up many different types of paper on one of my sprees, and they are all in a plastic bag and now are like canned goods with no label! Next time I'll mark them in the store.
I started out with graphite, but it's just not my medium. To Jimmy, Armin, Jeff, and all the graphite artists on this board, you have my respect. You have much more patience and fine motor control than I!
This is close to done so I thought I would put it up for any comments. My reference picture was very clear but the expression on Tom's face was slightly sneering. So he sat for the minor adjustments to the eyes and mouth to give him a slight smile. So far he really likes it. Lots of character, and wisdom lines in this face.
