Josh
This is a portrait drawn in charcoal. Josh has thick coarse hair, a strong chin and piercing eyes so I wanted to give his face a try. I decided to keep the drawing minimal and to let it look like a drawing. I kept the coarse hair very simple and just tired to have the effect without belaboring it. I did not want to do a lot of blending but felt the pencil marks were too tedious so I did a little more blending than I really wanted to.

I arranged the pose as the classic of one shoulder to be high and the other low. I know a forward face is common and boring but I thought it best brought out his features.
