Self-portrait. Pencil [H grade] on paper that's just too rough. I reach a plateau where I can't get any darker in the tones. Apart from fudging the nose, I gave up below the chin.
Second attempt where I struggled so much with the "tooth" of the paper, I appear to have changed race.
One of the many studies I've done, from the many studies I've done, with reflective cards.
Carrying on the mark making/ cross hatching I thought I'd try mark making in 3D. This cast in plaster from clay. The pressure from each line cut with a knife closed the one before, realise I need to PRESS into the clay.
. . . . and what I wake up to every morning.
