Charcoal Sketch_ Bearded Man

Inspiration struck late at night! I sketched this on toned paper, using white charcoal pencil for highlights- working from 10 pm till 12 pm, just after I posted the flowers.
For ages I have wanted to do this...Not a detailed one, but at least its a start. More to come...hopefully.

    Wonderful piece. Working on toned paper with a live model can be a lot of fun too. Working fast helps..

    Absolutely beautiful, Arti! I like the flowers below too but I have to say your portraits in graphite and in charcoal are some of the finest portrait work out there!
