Another quick charcoal-shaded drawing.

Quick charcoal face
A quick charcoal-shaded drawing in front of the mirror. Since I'm attending life drawing classes at the moment (the drawings from that are in another book), I'm trying to get in a little practice with charcoal.
Pencil drawing in bonnet
I've done a few drawings of myself in different hats in my book, and this my medium-sized bonnet. I should have some pictures up of it on the sewing blog. The main lace pattern is quite nice, and the face isn't too bad, but the netting around the edge was a nightmare!
Ink portrait in Victorian gown
To follow up the previous two drawings (and I'm sorry there's been a bit of a gap, I've been doing most of my work in a book), I did another large drawing of the same subject to colour. This time I simplified the background a little so the detail on the dress was more important to the overall picture. I'd marked out all the wallpaper when I thought it could do with something extra, hence the perhaps-not-quite-appropriate lamps (IKEA). It's fun all the same, and nice to look at, except for the face, which was a little small to get the detail properly on in the end.
