Experimenting with scale

At the start of the course I remember completing graphite drawing of a tree on A1 that was completely out of my comfort zone, however I really enjoyed doing it.

I have decided to start experimenting with drawing close up images of parts of people's faces. It has proven to be difficult as it is hard to get smooth darker tones in large areas; however I really enjoyed doing the two A3 drawings and I am going to continue experimenting with scale and developing and refining them.
