Rhea - Open Studio, July 22

I am coming to like the umber sticks much better than the sanguine with this process as you can use the white to tone down areas and do a little blending without getting that sickly pink color that you get with the sanguine and white.

For my skill level at this point, it is working better.

Rhea was beautiful, and had very high set ears and thin lips. I looked and measured and squinted multiple times and by golly that is where her ear was. It gave her a very classical old world look and was a lot of fun to draw.
