Portrait in Graphite

TODO — placeholder text. Replace with Arosh’s own description of the piece.

Drawn on grey paper so that the mid-tone is given rather than made, which leaves graphite to handle the shadows and chalk to handle the light. It is a much faster way to work than starting from white.

Roughly two hours from first mark to stopping, which is about as long as anyone will reasonably sit still.
