Class: Portrait… Platinum Hair

9 x 12 pastel pencil with white highlights on Strathmore Series 500 charcoal paper - from life

Third class this morning. New model, an older woman with platinum silver hair and classic good looks.

Deep set eyes with a wonderful brow ridge and eye lid fold that picked up the highlight. Her pug nose, muzzle and jaw line below her chin form an inverted triangle to the triangle formed by her eyes and nose.

Was fun to add the facial highlights and highlights on the hair to this well-lit model. Think the neck might have used a highlight line on the top of the sternocleidomastoideus muscle and could have better defined the ear fossa. Otherwise, happy with the drawing. 90 minutes.
