Week 15 - Charcoal drawing

Finally! I'm back on canvas! Did the charcoal drawing using the earlier drawings and the reference photos. The client is considering adding some detail to the left side with the saddle horn (which changed, as did the bolo tie). I'll get those in later. Canvas is 16"x 20". I am looking for someone with a camel hair jacket to model a bit as the photos I have are in different light and direction. So far, no luck finding one in town.

Nice drawing indeed. I like the line treatment and how it works so well with the shading. I'm preoccupied with that juxtaposition too...as I hope to show you soon. A year already????? Amazing!

Lookin' good! I really sympathize with your earlier post, by the way. The beginning of 2011 has been rough for me in all kinds of ways. January is hard. Professionalization is a struggle. Etc. Maybe we can chat sometime. I'd love to hear how things are going.
