A figure drawing done in charcoal, again from my first art class in college last year (2011) - Drawing 101. This was a good lesson in lighting and shading (we were only supposed to draw the shadows of the objects in front of us, in my case a skull, a metal mask to the left, a mannequin head to the right, and a woman with an elongated neck smoking a pipe rear/center left), how different textures react to warm, soft light and how it effects their shadows. There are distinct errors in this piece, but also things that I feel very comfortable and proud of. I really like the job I did on the skulls teeth, nose and eyes, yet I have problems with how the jaw line and cheeks came out (both proportion wise, and shading).
I wish the woman smoking in the back had had more neck definition.
