Charcoal Break

Having spent something like 12 of the past 13 days working in one way or another on the arcade print, and seeing that I'll have the coloring of the 3rd copy wrapped up soon, I took a day off from the watercolors today and spent a few hours with pencil and charcoal at the figure drawing group in Belmar. Used pencil for the short poses (planned as 2 to 10 minutes, but they tended to run a bit longer) and charcoal for the longer ones. The image above is a 20 minute charcoal drawing, my best one of the night.
