Carlos, I think this is the first time I see your drawings (I might have missed them if you posted some before), they are just so immediate ! And you stopped exactly at the right moment too, without overworking but really telling us all we needed to know.
I also like the placement of the head very much in both works and the balance between lines and modelling, very beautiful

These drawings are beautiful Carlos! I love that you did them from different angles as well.

Thanks Ilaria, Marina and Enzie. More artists I admire greatly. Your words are very uplifting and encouraging.

Carlos,
What a treat! These are wonderful to view and then to study. You said these were done in sanguine. Was it conte crayon or pencil? I guess I want to know how much of a sharp edge you worked with.

Thank you, Carlos. I also would love to know what kind of paper you used. I would like to try sanguine.
Thanks for the compliment!

Carlos, I love that these have such an airy feel about them. Quiet a challenge to draw someone who is constantly talking.

Thank you for your comment and interest, Chris. I used an ordinary sketch pad paper apt for charcoal in the first one (off white) and in the second one it was a W&N medium surface cartridge, also very common but more brilliant in its whiteness.

Thank you also Enzie. Like I said earlier, it is far easier for me to just try and draw someone who is chatting than to tell that person to please stop talking. I have to be very comfortable with someone to request that they stop talking.
