This is a drawing of a face in pencil and charcoal. It is a portrait of a young man looking over his shoulder. The lighting in my resource material was very interesting and had strong shadows on the far side of the face.
I liked drawing this because of the opportunity to do a slightly minimalist approach and the complexity of the shadow areas.
I started drawing with an HB pencil then went to a 2b then 4b. After using the stub to smooth things out a bit I used light, medium, and dark charcoal pencils. I didn't use an eraser until the very last for a sort of cleaning up.
It was about an hour and a half and very relaxing. The paper size is 5x9.
