Description
My sixth and final charcoal drawing in college. We got to choose any style, I just stuck with what I thought I knew.I used a picture for reference, but lost it long ago... This one didn't eve have a name.
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 5 hours.

Thank you very much! Nothing too fancy for canvas, just 12" by 18" 64lb. Charcoal paper, by Starthmore. I use a variation of charcoal, mostly heavy/dark, as well as many kneaded erasers. Oh, and a shammy cloth! Mustn't forget the shammy cloth!

Well, I was only given one night to do it, I had 4 other homework assignments to do that week, and it was all around finals for that trimester... Looking back, I see many flaws, and areas I feel I cheated myself on... I hope with my future works I'm given the freedom to do things on my own time. I appreciate the comment, glad you like it!

...i know,sometimes when we relly have great "pressure",and have to accomplish things in a certain time,it is stunning,what we are able to do.
However,I think considering this all,it is a remarcable work.
Again,bravo,really!
