Charcoal portrait of Anne Hathaway.

This was an intense amount of fun. I got a little tired of working with color for a while, and the shadows in the reference for this were just screaming at me to work on.

Now that that's out of my system... Back to painting!

Used Charcoal, white charcoal, pencil erasers, and stumps.

My hands were pretty black by the end of each session.

Sorry for the noise in the picture... But I've yet to aquire a tripod and took the picture with the sport setting so the picture wouldn't be blurry. Removing it in photoshop only made it blurry, so I figured this was better.

I love to couch in pensive mood

Upon some silent hill.

Lol, thanks! You know that's a compliment when some one things its a photograph. Yeah, I love charcoals, it's one of my favorite mediums when I'm not in the mood for color.

I'm not big on pen and ink - too many things tend to go wrong when I use it. I've had a pen explode at me once :(.

Thanks for the compliment!
