I completed the drawings below a while back when I was doing my undergrad. I have not done charcoal since. I also did portraits a lot when I was doing charcoal. I just thought the combination worked really well. By some strange coincidence, all of the subjects are smoking some form of tobacco and without even realizing I decided to post them all together today. Well hope you enjoy them.

This is a picture of a street kid in Nepal. It's a tough life for them and they mature much more quickly then they should.

ReplyDeleteVery powerful, wonderful use of light and shading and attention to detail. Your use of light and texture seems to heighten my sense of the moment and the feelings emanating from each portrait. Thanks for your work.
