White Charcoal Portraits


If you double click on one of the portraits, you will be able to see a smaller, full picture views of the drawings, whereas this view allows you to appreciate the detail of the pencil strokes and shading. 


The two portraits below started off my interest in using white charcoal or pastels on dark paper. White charcoal on black paper is all I wanted to use to draw for a while after I discovered this great combination. I have found the media choice to be rather haunting and have seen that it adds an intensity to looking into a person's soul. I have done a number of white charcoal portraits, but the two below are my favorite.
