Here's another speed sketch in charcoal.  This is one of my favorite actress, unfortunately this didn't turn out well as expected.

Adèle Exarchopoulos

Watched the movie 'Blue Is the Warmest Color' and that was enough to inspire me to make these dark marks which eventually turned out to what you see below!

I'm falling in love with this medium!

this was a quick one, the motive was to complete the sketch in 5.59 mins(same time that took for this cover version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qt5eioErIWM) of some songs: looping in my headset). Unfortunately it looped twice when I reached this shape.

Anyways it was not that disappointing!!!  Enjoyed the process and got something to cherish when I come here later some time...
