Charcoal Portrait Of A Young Man

This was a little something I did in my spare time.

Charcoal Portrait of a Young Man

I started this while waiting for my daughter at the dentist, and worked on it later at different times. I was using some pictures I was given to compost it.  The picture that I was using had been taken with a flash and so there were not many shadows for drama.

I started with pencil and then used charcoal and then combined charcoal and pencil together. I used the blending stub a lot and tried to get the shadows to work out. I wanted to do a good job on the face and leave the clothing as minimal for contrast.
