Graphite on Copier PaperThis is from a photo taken early one morning after a bad night of sleep. He was totally out of it looking rather scraggly and rough.
I still need practice in depicting wrinkles and creases in skin but am thrilled it turned out as it did.
Working this I was hoping for various textures and directional strokes for added interest. Some areas smudged, some raw pencil work. I found the way I did the shading in the face helped to depict just how rough he was feeling. I could have used a smooth shading but didn't think it would give me that same overall feeling.
The "thing" off to the right (as you view it) is a feather shaped earring (he's part American Indian).
