I wanted to explore using charcoal through different faces
1. Planned layout in sketchbook
2. Sketched base image
3. Created base layer by blending thin layer of charcoal to make a base tone
4. Used a blending stick and a paper towel to blend
5. Darkened and lightened areas for high contrast
6. Added outline for depth
Reflection: I realized when I draw faces I tend to lean toward drawing the same features. Next time I do faces I want to try to step out of my comfort zone and add some more variation.
