Life Drawing - week 10 in class

This week we used conte to draw with instead of charcoal. I liked it, but would need some more practice with it. 

This one used black and sanguine conte, which I do not really like the look of mixing them, but Lawler mentioned this might be my best drawing I have done all year...which I am not sure that I agree.

This one was done with only sanguine conte, which I really like the looks of. This drawing turned out nicely, I think conte is a good choice of material for me to use. I did not get to finish the background above her completely though. The body turned out very nicely, but I still need help with faces. :(
