Thanks to both of my subjects for allowing me to share these works on line.
pastel pencil 14 x 11 inches
This pretty young woman had a very concerned look on her face but I could not resist the chance to render her beautiful hair in sanguine pastel.
The original drawing is a little lighter than shown here and looks less severe because of the lighter tones.
Ink and watercolour, 7 x 11 inches
I find it much easier to do a continuous line drawing of a face in profile than straight on. Not all of the shapes are accurate and you can see some places where I have made restatements of the lines. The watercolour wash serves to add a little shading.
It even kind of looks like Don.
