Charcoal Series I: Red Popped Lips by Kurt Garrett

Charcoal drawing, Dimension: 18" x 24".

The charcoal is not gentle compared to pencil but has a quality that allows me to sculpt the face. Additionally, naturally high contrast (chiaroscuro)  adds a dramatic effect to the subject. The red 'popped lips' is pencil but I am anxious to try the same wit colored pastel.
