Okay, had so many things to do when I got back from my holiday, but I 
had to finish this drawing first thing.  This is a cute guy I play bingo
 with on Fridays at the Nursing Home.  He's so sweet.  Done with 
charcoal, blackboard chalk, pencil crayons.  
Still crazy for me to 
work with color.  I spend about an hour putting color on and a good week
 trying to take it off and tone it down!  Its got a strange pastel-ish 
glow but still too much color for me.
Drawing #9
I've been trying to do portraits in color, but I just can't get the pencil crayons to tone down to my level.  I'm not usually much for color, and they are just so intense.  Anyhow.. I went to the dollar store and bought a box of colored blackboard chalk for a dollar and gave it a try.  I actually quite like the result.  Working with it is a bit difficult, but I like the skin tones way better than the pencil crayons. 
So here's a cute fellow I play bingo with at the nursing home.
