Carbon pencil and white charcoal on tinted paper. A tricky portrait for me, as the face is largely in shadow and the facial planes are a little unclear. A fun exercise for practicing hair.

I meant to dash this sketch off quickly and then got really wrapped up in how to get the face in shadow. Then by the time I finished the hair I was about at the end of my attention span–hence the loose approach to the clothing. I really appreciate your detailed feedback–thanks so much!
