Plaster Cast Drawing
in Charcoal (continued)
At this stage, the outline of the head, the features of the face, and the planes of the head were further developed using a
sharpened stick of medium-grade charcoal. The proportions and angles of all forms were continually checked. The drawing
still has a geometric feel, as the artist sought to record the precise angle as each contour changed direction. With the linear
definition of the planes of the head, the drawing begins to take on the appearance of solidity.
