I miss you all already, so do show me your lovely mugs soon....Using either a small hand mirror or full length....use any medium you fancy. I show you some examples in various media.
Arrange the lighting to give you variation of tone if you can. Maybe do a quick one first to decide on your approach and then a longer more sustained one,,,,Have a coffee break in the middle to review from a distance.

this looks like this one has a rubbed charcoal ground using a rubber to draw highlights and stick to define darks

I think its sepia pen and ink, note the crosshatch technique to perfectly describe the subtlest of forms.

This time, I took a bit longer, and it seems a bit overworked. I photographed both attempts next to each other.
Pat:I like the intensity of the new one...coloured pencils can be used in their entire range of colours even to achieve flesh tones as in artist I have labelled NOT SURE

Had to do this in ten minutes because I was elsewhere, singing.... worked very fast, doesn't look like me, only insofar as it seems show the fear! It was fun to do!I might have another go, too, because now I know what went wrong. Light came from left - and narrowed the face..... must find out how to deal with this. Pat:If you darken where the hair meets the face(even white hair) the cheek will come forward and not recede.
