Drawing after a bad day

I had a rough day so I thought I'd draw to relax a bit. This is a recreation of something I did for my very first drawing. Though then I used colour. This time I just used black and white charcoal. It's on a tan'ish pastel paper.

This first one was a 5 minute sketch with vine charcoal. Turned out a bit too roundy for my taste, but show everything..good or bad..is my policy.


This is the final result after about an hour and a half. Very nice I thought. Below are just various other pictures. I have manipulated the brightness a bit because of the crap light in my apartment.
