Figure Drawing

This is a model that we drew before in a previous class, but this time we were using charcoal in stead of graphite, ink and/or wash.  In addition to charcoal we used some pastels.  I usually avoid pastels... they seem very messy and uncontrolled to me.  However experimentation is key to developing new skills and hopefully likes.   I ran out of time before being able to refine her facial features, but overall it was actually fun to experiment with pastel purple.
