Charcoal Drawing

Been busy preparing for a show that takes place this Friday at a local gallery. I was able to do a study this evening though. Done with charcoal from a photo. Will do a painting next.
Haven't used charcoal in a long long time, it feels as messy as ever. It really makes you think about every mark.
I also made a charcoal sock, basically a bundle of charcoal powder. It's very useful for laying down the initial tone.
