This is not a portrait, obviously.  It's a project I did as part of an activity for the Killeen Civic Art Guild.  We were supposed to do an art piece on alphabet exemplars.  I didn't think of this until just hours before the meeting.  It was not done during the meeting, but at the suggestion of two members, I completed it.  I don't think it came out very well.  I used the wrong type of paper...conte paper.  It was not very user friendly, and it picked up even the smallest smudge.  I made a very minor mistake when putting on the finishing touches, and I had a apparent stain on the paper.  I then had to add a brown wash to the paper to kind of drown out the stain, and it turned out to look dirty to me.  I also added spattered brown wash to complete it.
