Charcoal dreams

So I splurged! So sue me!

I splurged on -
  1. A 30 sheet A4 size sketchbook of 180 g/m^2 paper.
  2. A packet of willow charcoal - medium 5-6 mm.
  3. A 48 shade pack of oil pastels.
  4. A Moleskine plain notebook.

This resulted in some well-deserved euphoria and combined with the resurgent artistic personality of my schizophrenic self to produce the following:


Charcoal beauty


Pssst! I cheated a lil bit ... it's not completely charcoal. I drew it in pencil first. Since I don't have a scanner handy at home, I took a picture of it. The chic amber lighting is not Photoshop - it's my table lamp!

Okay.. so now... who wants to model for my next one?

    @grafx: Oh, I've been enticed by the female form for a long, long time - especially because I can't quite do justice to it...
