I did this sketch using a 4B, 6B and white charcoal pencils with a touch of a soft white pastel. My reference photo was taken by Britt at my parents lake house in 2007 of Kris and her friend Casey. This is the first time I have worked with charcoals...I used a gray 14x20 piece of Canson Mi-Teintes paper to help with the mid tones...it took me about 50 minutes. They were looking into the sun, so there's not a lot of light. I see some things I would change, but since it's just a sketch, I'll leave it alone. I plan on doing another charcoal sketch from a photo I took of Britt...she has on one of her long ball dresses, so it has a lot of fabric folds.
