Description

My very first charcoal drawing in college.

I used a picture for reference, but it's been so long I forgot who it was...

This was done using the "Take-Away," technique. In which the canvas is first covered black with charcoal, then you use a kneaded eraser to make the highlights and mid-tones. The shadows are already on canvas.

This one took about 3 hours.
