Description Edit 9/07/08:

Replaced the matte image with the image before it was matted because it was sharper... and it just has a better impact.

This piece was put in the Student show at LSUS. My drawing teacher was able to matte it nicely for me.

18x24, charcoal, white charcoal, and stumps.

This piece reminded me why I love black and white.

Beautiful - I love how your shading takes away the detail in her face but at the same time adds more emotion to it. Beautiful.

I hope you have warm fuzzy feeling when you look at this piece, becaue you did a great job. the depth is consistent and pulls the eyes deep into it. Your white spaces are s white. How did you do that? Charcole isn't my main medium, but I like it. I smudge horribly! And lastly, what are stumps?
