Life Studies in Marker and conte

The following life drawings show a set of studies done 
over a period of an hour.

I used a dry wipe marker pen on brown parcel paper 
and then used a white conte chalk to create the strong 
one point lighting.

I prefer drawing on  parcel paper ( dull side ) as its takes 
materials such as characoal and markers so well. 
The mid tone brown has a warm contrats to the bleach 
starkness of White cartridge.

The nap of the paper allows for great chalk and pastel overlay.
