Quick sketch from life
A quick sketch from 'life'. 2b mechanical pencil on cartridge paper. She had just washed her hair and had it wrapped up in a towel.

A very expressive and intersting piece. I like the line quality a lot, and of course, the best part is although it was quick, it looks wonderful

Thumper, Thanks for looking at my sketch. The scan makes the values look a bit uneven here. It is not a very big sketch and was done rather quickly.
Rose, How perceptive of you.

Thank you Booby, oops sorry, Bobby.
I'm not happy with how this looks scanned, it looks much better in real life.
I will think of a punishment for you later...

Bobby, More?? You are lucky to get this one. She is not the most patient model around. She is making me pay too for scanning this a bit dark  The original is a bit softer.
Tj, I love doing the quick ones. Yes, that's your talkative chat buddy there hiding under that towel
Ivyleaf, I would like to do a painting from this one. I am starting some oil painting lessons tomorrow with an artist friend. He is really good and gets his paintings together quite quickly - which will suit me just fine.
