charlotte

Carbon pencil on Utrecht bristol, 14" x 10".

i like to start intensive study with a model through outline drawings, some of them carefully done. this is charlotte sitting on my studio brown sofa, beaming a girlish glee.

my main interest in this kind of drawing is in the hair and the facial proportions. i don't care about modeling, shadows, textures and so on.

charlotte has a very complex mouth. i didn't capture it well here, but the overall shape is correct. she has perfect teeth and a stunning smile, as you'll see in later images.
