Head Statue Drawing

Project: Draw one of the portraits using value and shadows, no outlines, to give a 3D feel to the portrait.

Time: About 2 - 2.5 hours

This was for my Drawing I class this past Wednesday (so... yesterday? XD ).

My professor put up a slide of two women, one of them being this lovely lady and the other one being a higher contrast lady that was simpler to draw. I chose the harder one because I'm an overachiever.

I wish I had the reference image because then this would make sense...
It was a statue of a head, not actually someone's head so... that's why the shoulder is a bit weird looking, it's just how it was sculpted honestly.

Also, I should have filled in the whole background with black because she was basically emerging from the shadows but filling all of that in with a couple of 6B pencils and a wimpy graphite stick was not going to happen after drawing her, I was way too tired. XD

Hope you guys like it! I'm pretty proud of this one!
