Charcoal Drawing 37 by 42in (something like that)

A drawing I did in 2008. Originally, the idea was to have three figures in a doorway based on a tiny sketch I did with only one of the faces visible (though I'm not sure if that was relevant to why I liked the idea). My friend Matt, the model, was wearing a pladded shirt which made the figures blend together even more than I planned.

This is the first thing I created that I thought was good. Well, not good, but that I was proud of. And I still am. I did it my senior year of college, so 2006 I think. A teacher of mine told me that it might become a monkey on my back, that I might try to "live up" to this thing in the stuff that I create after it. Looking back, I very much did.
