Graphite portrait study of a bearded man

Study of a Bearded Man

Portrait study

A portrait built from the inside out: skull first, then the planes of the face, and only at the end the hair and the skin. The beard is the last ten percent of the drawing and takes a third of the time.

Drawn from life. Single sheet, unframed.
