Study of Hands Drawing Leaves, Sarah Myers

Charcoal and white conte define these hands against the grey paper. Is the right hand sketching a stem and leaves held by the left?

Simple Profile, Drawing by Sarah Myers

Simple Profile, Sarah Myers

This large profile is in charcoal and conte on grayscale paper. Shading and highlights I have worked with a light hand. The piece is simple - the head of a woman turned almost to full profile (not absolute - there is still a glimpse of the far eyelid and lashes, and brow and chin are softened imperceptibly in angle). Her glance is downward and to the side away from us, but there is still a hint that we, the viewers, are present in her world.
