Head Drawing in Pastels II

Here's another one, this time using an analogous split-complimentary color scheme (blue being the obvious dominant color).

Head Drawing in Pastels

Here's a first for me, a head drawing done in color with pastels. I think it turned out ok.

An assignment for a class. I had to create two characters that demonstrated twist and motion. Originally I wanted to make them two wrestlers or something, but Pirates are just more fun. Who doesn't love puffy shirts?!

Some more head drawings...anyone recognize the model for the second one?

Hands

I've finally moved on from head to hands.

Head Drawing 4

Here's another.

Head Drawing 3

Another old guy for the head drawing class. I had a choice between this guy and a woman in profile, but this guy was too interesting to pass up.

Head Drawing 2

Another couple of head drawings I did for class.

Scruffy

Again I find my thoughtless doodling entering the realm of weird old men. I think this is the kinda guy that ends up moving into a camper on some backwoods area with only his double-barrel and hound dog for company.

Head Drawing

I'm enrolled in a head drawing class this semester and it's interesting to go back to this style of drawing after so long; usually if I do figure studies it's just small thumbnails sketches in a notebook. Here is a second attempt at a head assignment last week. I've also included a more "Joe-ish" doodle of this guy--just for fun.
