9×12 Pastel pencil on toned paper
Been a few years since any portrait drawing… or any drawing, really…
This drawing was for a friend… Worked from reference photos. Pleased with the outcome given the lack of recent drawing.
Progress not perfection.
Note: To get back into drawing, took a six week figure drawing class with Craig Carl at the Sarasota Art Center… Figure drawing skills will take some regular work to recover. Need to find a weekly open studio with live models. Sure miss Yuri Yurov and my drawing friends in NJ.
