R.E. sketch

 Okay here is the latest example of a quick portrait sketch.  This actually took about 2 1/4 hours.  The second picture is after about 1:15 and the first picture was at about 15 minutes.  I actually like the sketch after about an hour better than the finished, but the face shape was off.  I didn't change much after the hour was up but the hair shirt and background.  Maybe a mistake.  I'm going to change it back to simpler shapes.  I like the brush quality better after an hour.

I know the highlight on the nostril in the shadow is too light, but I'm going to let it dry before adjusting because I think the drawing is good and the shape is right.   

I think I can proceed with the quick sketch for the Clifton Art Show on December 15
