I did this quick freehand sketch of K'Naan (from the cover of his Troubadour Album) just to get back into drawing practice, to study light and shade and to try and capture as close a likeness as possible. It was completed on pretty poor quality paper and I found the contrast effects I wished to explore were hard to execute.

Graphite from Ceylon (Sri Lanka).
A mineral is a naturally-occurring, solid, inorganic, crystalline substance having a fairly definite chemical composition and having fairly definite physical properties. At its simplest, a mineral is a naturally-occurring solid chemical. Currently, there are over 5900 named and described minerals - about 200 of them are common and about 20 of them are very common. Mineral classification is based on anion chemistry. Major categories of minerals are: elements, sulfides, oxides, halides, carbonates, sulfates, phosphates, and silicates.
Elements are fundamental substances of matter - matter that is composed of the same types of atoms. At present, 118 elements are known (four of them are still unnamed). Of these, 98 occur naturally on Earth (hydrogen to californium). Most of these occur in rocks & minerals, although some occur in very small, trace amounts. Only some elements occur in their native elemental state as minerals.
To find a native element in nature, it must be relatively non-reactive and there must be some concentration process. Metallic, semimetallic (metalloid), and nonmetallic elements are known in their native state.
The element carbon principally occurs in its native state as the minerals graphite (C) and diamond (C). Graphite is the common & far less valuable polymorph of carbon. Graphite has a metallic luster and a silvery-gray color. It is very soft (H = 1), has a slick, greasy feel, and readily marks paper. Graphite does have cleavage, but it is not apparent at the hand specimen scale. The ability of graphite to mark paper, its softness, and its greasy feel are all a consequence of cleavage sheets easily slipping over each other on a microscopic scale.

My reference for this was a newspaper photograph of an accident site. I was drawn to the expression on the young boy's face.

One year ago today I started another year of taking my photo every day & this time around I only missed 7 out of 365. It's a pretty fun project & I'm thankful for my Dawn&Drew family for being such a huge part of my life ♥.
