Sunday’s model was Scandinavian in ancestry. She had a high forehead and long neck. Her neck was not as long as the one I drew, I just wanted to accentuate it like one of the Russian Icon paintings of Madonna. I would like to experiment with elongating the entire figure as El Greco did. If I could just stop being afraid of the results of experimenting.
Vine Charcoal on Newsprint and Bond.
Cool thing about this charcoal is the tonal range you can get by manipulating the marks.
It does not stick to the newsprint very well so I tried conté and then changed paper on the profile.
Charcoal is very dynamic but hard to control. This is soft 7/16 willow and highlighted with kneaded eraser.
Having fun with some charcoal. It really versatile stuff when it comes to diversity of line and marks. Someone said my hair looks like metal.
