Anxious, Charcoal on Paper, (8.5" x 11.5")

Did this drawing from a photo by my friend Prasad Dabke.  I love doing these charcoal portraits once in a while. I hope to achieve greater edge control with practice. 
Its a shame how fixatives spoil a day's work. The hair and lips were a rich, deep dark. Thankfully the fixative was so bad that it actually could be removed by wiping with a dry brush.
Thank you all for stopping by.

Female in Profile II (Modified)

Female in Profile II, Oil on Canvas Panel, (12" x 10")

This is the same painting as the previous post. I have taken the advice of my friends and well wishers and decided to remove the background details on the top left corner. I have also deepened the value of the background. I am thoroughly satisfied with the result. Thank you so much Carol, Crystal and Katheryn for your valuable advice.
