These are the first stages
First, I established where I think the placement of the shapes should be. I did this by blocking in using soft charcoal. I drew in the big shapes (the head shape and torso), than the shadow shapes trying to be as accurate as possible.
Than as you will notice I put in the first guess at dead color keeping in mind that this is only a guess. I did not use one tone for I am not sure what value key I would like this at. So I am playing with various tones. This is why I placed my colors on light, diluted a touch with mineral spirits. The shapes are a guess for as I develop the painting shapes will move around and the paint will go on thicker.
Your comments and suggestions are appreciated.
