Surface project #2: Grayscale drawings

For this one, we were supposed to utilize the entire grayscale in a drawing that depicts an emotion. We drew from photographs onto tracing vellum, a translucent paper that was smooth and fun to work with. I took this picture of a little boy at the Schuylkill river park in Philadelphia one weekend when I was there visiting my boyfriend. Graphite pencil on vellum, 9x12"
