i think i need to do more charcoal drawings. Especially with the process so close to painting. I will need to experiment getting variety in the ways in which i apply the charcoal to the paper.

This was done on standard A2 cartridge paper. in an afternoon from stock ref.

Ive learnt alot on this one and have made alot of mistakes along the way but its better to make them now and not later

thanks for looking

my first oil portrait.
It is loosely based photoref..my aim will eventually  work from live models but as i have little experience using oils i need to build up my confidence with the medium. Im happy with the final result and think it  surpasses what i have achieved digitally from previous work.

canvas board 18"x12"

a few life drawings from the first freezing week of febuary.

A few improvements.. i think im taking measuring alot more into consideration now (in my head) although i still cant capture the personality of the particular model. I will be jumping onto charcoal for the longer pose next week.
