More

More gestures and short poses from recent model sessions. All graphite except for the clothed ones. Apparently, I draw slower and a little less fluidly with graphite than with conte. Will probably try a few other media to see how results differ with those - especially ink pen and brush. Any and all feedback or advice is welcome!!!

Some Old Portraits

These are pastel portraits completed in the Fall of 2005, when I was studying in France. They were photographed in less-than-ideal conditions to record the moment rather than the art, and as the originals belong to the sitters and are not available for scanning, the image-quality is pretty iffy. I learned this method of speedy portraiture while working at Hersheypark the preceding Summer. Kinda makes me want to get back into pastels, to see what else they can do.
