Still Life

I've started a new drawing. This will be the most detailed piece I have ever done. Here is a little bit of it so far:


... much later in the day:


It's really strange for me to work this way. Typically, I like to do the faces first but I always run out of steam at the end and the rest of the image lacks the same level of attention as the face. Here I have decided to do the face last in order to give the rest of the image as much as I can. I always love the face at this point (which you can't see much of), it's like a mask or statue; somber and cold, very inhuman. One day I want to fill a gallery with them just to witness the overall effect.
