More study of Matt in ink

In ball point ink on 4x6 inches sketchbook. I'm trying to define lights and shadows in a different medium, constantly in search for s much more effective articulation. 

I purposely did this on a much smaller scale mainly for quick studies. The way to etch a particular tone and angle is essential for such articulation. I'm on this stage of experimenting with this medium.

Charcoal study of Matt on toned gray paper. 9x12 inches. 

I am so fascinated of the wonders of what black and white charcoal can do on my works. I am constantly looking for a way I would prefer of articulating the light and dark sensitivities, and of space. Different approaches on different papers. 

I just have to get more familiar to it.  

A new look at my work

Matt Damon in charcoal. 18" x 24". I wasn't really impressed with this one, but  I was proud of how I rendered this portrait with, again, a different look. I'm always looking for something that is more effective in defining what I was trying to communicate with my art. Different techniques are what I'm looking for.
