This little drawing on Strathmore's toned paper is about 8 x 6" (actually on 12 x 9" paper, but I matted it smaller).
The model is an actress and was in her stage makeup - complete with false lashes and eyeliner which gave her eyes a lot of impact - I loved it! For this one I used the always wonderful and forgiving vine charcoal, with a few accents in white pencil. As usual, I left some things undone, which I think lends feeling to a drawing done quickly. Thanks for looking!

Like the well placed limited use of white.
She's beautiful Connie. Love the false eyelashes...brings me back when I wore them! It makes you feel so glamorous! lol and beautiful work on the shadows and hair!!!
Thank you, Anthony - glad to hear I didn't overdo it - always so easy for me to do - get started and just can't stop. Happy you visited my blog!
Hi Hilda - thank you so much! And yes - the false lashes. I wore them, too, back in the day. : )
