Trying a mostly monochromatic portrait. I think I'll leave her as she is now, even though her pupils are lighter than her irisses. I kinda like her that way. :)
Graphite, gouache and distress ink.
Charcoal on paper
Although Hopper later discounted his illustrations as "potboilers," he thrived as a commercial artist. He produced hundreds of drawings, and occasionally oil sketches, for magazines and advertisements between 1906 and 1925.

Edward Hopper’s New York
(October 2022 – March 2023)
For Edward Hopper, New York was a city that existed in the mind as well as on the map, a place that took shape through lived experience, memory, and the collective imagination. It was, he reflected late in life, “the American city that I know best and like most.”
The city of New York was Hopper’s home for nearly six decades (1908–67), a period that spans his entire mature career. Hopper’s New York was not an exacting portrait of the twentieth-century metropolis. During his lifetime, the city underwent tremendous development—skyscrapers reached record-breaking heights, construction sites roared across the five boroughs, and an increasingly diverse population boomed—yet his depictions of New York remained human-scale and largely unpopulated. Eschewing the city’s iconic skyline and picturesque landmarks, such as the Brooklyn Bridge and the Empire State Building, Hopper instead turned his attention to its unsung utilitarian structures and out-of-the-way corners, drawn to the awkward collisions of new and old, civic and residential, public and private that captured the paradoxes of the changing city. Edward Hopper’s New York charts the artist’s enduring fascination with the city, revealing a vision of New York that is as much a manifestation of Hopper himself as it is a record of the city around him.
Edward Hopper’s New York takes a comprehensive look at Hopper’s life and work, from his early impressions of New York in sketches, prints, and illustrations, to his late paintings, in which the city served as a backdrop for his evocative distillations of urban experience. Drawing from the Whitney’s extensive holdings and amplified by key loans, the exhibition brings together many of Hopper’s iconic city pictures as well as several lesser-known yet critically important examples. The presentation is significantly informed by a variety of materials from the Museum’s recently acquired Sanborn Hopper Archive—printed ephemera, correspondence, photographs, and journals that together inspire new insights into Hopper’s life in the city. By exploring the artist’s work through the lens of New York, the exhibition offers a fresh take on this formidable figure and considers the city itself as a lead actor.

On this drawing I only used the reference photo from WetCanvas (fifth photo), that is on the past November-December 2014 Portrait Challenge. The name of young woman is Nicole. So, thanks so much Nicole!
I used graphite pencils and I made it on paper.

Pages from my the unfinished mini-Graphic Novel I worked on for my Media Studies Thesis at Vassar College.
The pages may be a bit difficult to follow. There are three characters, each with four pages, but their stories are all incomplete because the work isn't finished.
This is my Everyday Matters Challenges #33 (eye), #53 (mouth), and #65 (nose)! 3 fer 1! For those who know me, hopefully, they will look familiar. You know, I don't think I ever looked at my face as closely before. I'll have to do the self portrait challenge another time.
I did this quick sketch of Caligula before heading to bed last night. Blogged at drawingonnature.blogspot.com :)
Photo of my setup. Shot the same day as the in progress pic I posted during the week.
Just finished this piece last night.
