The plans have now become reality, and I am officially State-side & East-side. For the next 3 months I will be residing in NY, soaking up as much knowledge and clocking in as many hours as possible at the easel. So, be careful what you wish for.
I'll be spending a semester of intensive study at the New York Academy of Art during the day, as well as taking evening classes at Grand Central Academy.
I hope to post progress of my work as often as possible, so without further ado, here's a quick graphite portrait sketch 18x24"(roughly a 2-hour pose):
Thanks for looking!

I like this piece! How did you get the patchy texture on the paper?
ReplyDeleteThanks solanafoo! The patchy texture was actually a happy accident. The paper I used was quite smooth in texture, and as I rubbed graphite powder into it (with a chamois) patches of darker/lighter tone appeared.
