New drawing Vanitas 9 (09-14-2016)

I started a new drawing for Vanitas series a few days ago. Just like the last piece, this is done in pastel on black charcoal paper. The size is 20" x 16". I like this composition a lot. I came up with this final design by collaging 3 different photos together, using the best part of each image.

Line drawing copied onto a sheet of black paper from the composite photo sketch.

After adding a general wash of brown orchre.

The face is pretty much done and I have moved onto the body. At this point, before adding any tonal nuances, I laied down 3 different colors to create the basic skin tones.
