Seated Model (2005)





Charcoal pencil on acid-free drawing paper

My first charcoal drawing and my first real work from a live
model. This was executed in the drawing class which I'm taking
instead of painting during the summer. The model is the
instructor's ten-year old son.

I have learned that drawing paper is not the best choice when
using charcoal, as you can see by the lines which I tried to
erase that linger, ghost-like, at the edges of the figure.
Still, I am very happy with my first attempt.
