Full-time dedication to drawing and just drawing ... more convenient and less expensive than oil oil painting, so why not draw full time? not to mention there is so much learning in each drawing I make. Here are a few portraits I did recently:

Trying to capture some sharp contrast in these charcoal portraits:

Boxing : charcoal and pencil

Getting back in the groove with figure drawing. I did these using video reference on Croquis Cafe :

charcoal pencil 

And a few more drawings for today :

old man from Baluchestan 

Exhausted worker in charcoal

Exhaustion ... charcoal

the followings are some portraits I did over the past few months, I am usually drawn to faces in the general public especially when they are hit by direct sunlight.
