Crazy hair, crazy year

A study in black and white charcoal. This study, as most of my studies, is only 6 inches on a 5.5x8.5 ins. Strathmore sketch book. The portrait, by the way, is of Johnny Depp.

Head study

Head study in graphite pencil, white paper. Another reference from Dave Malan's work.

Rockwell study

Norman Rockwell in pencil, white paper. Emulating a master's work teaches how it's done and why it appears the way it is. It's literally a study. This is my version of Dave Malan's work. He has a superb hatching style that I love. I just learned that they encourage this technique of recreating masters' works at some art schools like TAD.
