I think that Nicholai Fechin was a superb draftsman--maybe the best in recent history! This charcoal drawing was done in his style and the source material was inspired by his photographs from his travels to Mexico. I do enjoy drawing in charcoal; indeed, it is like painting but without color--just value. Instant gratification!
A vine charcoal portrait drawing of an Indian. I used a historical photograph as reference material and emphasized his features that interested me most. 20"x16" vine charcoal. NFS
