Faces

This evening I went to my local Life drawing class, something I haven't done for over a year!
We focused on faces for the whole evening, which was interesting especially as when I normally draw figures I focus very little on the face.
Here is 'Roy' and 'Caroline'. They were both 10 minute sketches in charcoal. Roy was easier, being a standard profile. Though I think his ear is a little big! Caroline was a challenge which I set myself. I asked her to deliberately sit partial profile, so that I could see the line of the nose but also the cheek the other side. About half way through I nearly gave up, but I persevered and it paid off, just! I need to re-work the cheek on the right, make her cheekbone higher, but it bears some resemblance which isn't bad!
