Dust and Shadows

One of a series of two. Ink and water-soluble graphite on large watercolor paper. 

This was for a life drawing final that I did the night before it was actually due, as usual. I think I may have aged myself too much, and the eyes aren't as spot-on as I'd have liked. Self-portraits are always very hard for me because I paint what I feel instead of what I see. It was fun to play around with style more than usual, and I adore the way ink and water interact on the paper.
