Charcoal drawings



These are some of the drawings I did last quarter for my "Intro to Drawing" final critique. I am quite happy with how they turned out.





I tried to use a slightly different technique for each picture, but all are done in charcoal. This is the first time I had ever played with charcoal, and I love it!
I drew upon my life in the Middle East for my drawings. I enjoy the play between past and present, and look forward to doing more projects with this theme.
