This is a little project I did while giving an art lesson to a very talented student. We were working from photos in fashion magazines. The Resource Material was not very helpful and the light was poor so I had to contrive a few effects to get a satisfactory result.  I finished the project without the aid of the resource material so much of this is improvised.

Charcoal and pencil sketch of fashion model with full lips.

I started drawing with a hb pencil and then went to a 6b. Later I used a light and medium charcoal pencil for the deeper values. I came back over the charcoal with the hb pencil to get a little rubbing in and blending.  I use the blending stub liberally in the shadows and on the left background.

I really enjoyed the project.

Please see the tab for pricing options to commission your own portrait in charcoal.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my work. Thanks for taking the time to look.
