Drawing Portraits, Week 3

This is a series on a class called Drawing Portraits, at the Drawing Studio. In this class, as the name would suggest, we will focus on the human face.

Here is what I drew for the long pose:

Art Show

The piece of mine in the show was a still life of desert vegetation done in graphite. In the picture below, it is the one at the top.
