Charcoal Realism 1

Charcoal on medium weight paper, lightly textured and not the kind of paper at all that I should be using for a charcoal drawing. It's the only kind I have.

I've used charcoal before but this is the first time I've drawn a person with it. It's also only the third time I've ever seriously drawn a realistic face. A pretty mediocre attempt but I think I like it. I messed up her eyes.
