Recalcitrant ARA Student

...recalcitrant because I broke 2 ARA rules.  First, my new teacher for portrait said not to draw a portrait too much larger than life size.  This study is twice as big as life size.  Secondly, though I measured, I worked on this for only 30 minutes, a much shorter time than is expected at ARA.  It was a quick study!  I don't know why I did this, because I very much respect the methods and procedure at ARA.  It was in no way intentional.  I suppose I lapsed back into my old ways.  I hate the hair, but I did achieve an excellent likeness.

Quick Sketch and a Photo

At QAA, I did this quick sketch in about an hour.  Charcoal on paper.

This is a photo Emmy took while I was drawing Tristen at ARA. (See last post)
