Admittedly, I haven't gotten as much art done in the last few days because I have been watching...the OLYMPICS. I did manage to dash this one off last night though, which is my first charcoal drawing in probably about five years. I'm not quite as comfortable with charcoal and pastel as I am with wet media but I am actually reasonably pleased with this one. Of course I have also been plagued by camera and computer technical issues but I think these are all worked out now so I should be able to get back to a semi-regular posting schedule. I really think every artist should attempt a true self portrait at some point. Its amazing how the way we view ourselves is so different from how others view us.

Self Portrait in Charcoal
