Studying Prud'hon - Old Master Studies, post 5

Studying Pierre Paul Prud'hon...

A3, conte.

Normally, 'heads' are not supposed to be posted here..

...since the 'censors' allow me to post them elsewhere, but I thought... why not here too! So here are four head studies I did yesterday, on 11" x 10" white cartridge. Ref images were provided by Luicre (who has kindly commented on this blog) in a weekly drawing event at WC.

  Sanguine Conte. Derwent drawing pencil for background 

  8B graphite (washable). Staedtler watercolor pencil for BG.

  Black Conte. Shifted her gaze a bit 

  8B graphite and Derwent sanguine stump (also in the BG) 

Hatching and gesture...

Was exploring values with close hatching...
