Thank you
Thank you for the suggestion Timothy. I have been thinking about the same idea. Believe it or not, I thought I had loosened up as I moved away from the face. In person you can see a little more breaking down of the finish work toward the edges. But now that you mention it, I can see where feathering would be nice. Thanks, it is always helpful to have fresh eyes & insights.
Thank you for the nice comments Patricia. The girl with the loose pony tail was a labor of love. I completely finished three versions before I was happy. I even had it framed and delivered it and then I asked for it back. The angle from above was incredibly difficult for me to mentally understand. I could never get the perspective quite right. I found a book called "Drawing Lessons from the Great Masters" by Robert Beverly Hale that helped a great deal. I highly recommend it.
I couldn't even guess the hours. The other girl went more smoothly, and I did very little correction on it. I would guess 40 to 60 hours. I do not use vine charcoal. I make too much of a mess with the stuff. I use charcoal pencils. I also use chalk pastels in black, white and gray.
Thanks again!
