This is very interesting. The location of the figure on the page is very striking, particularly in that he is facing away from the center of the page, which is also where the light source is. The lack of hair makes it have the feel almost of an anatomical study, but then there are these very pronounced eyelashes.

I find this intriguing.

Looks like my noggin.

Cool !!!

Makes me smile

Very interesting and unusual POV. Nicely done.

Love that view !

love tuerda's observation about this being like a study, but then it has those eyebrows. Your pov (renaissance artists would've eaten this up!) is very dramatic; and of course because it's a view we normally don't see in portraits, it makes us see a human as an abstract object, almost. Intense shading on the back of his head, and the shoulders are these amorphous 'clouds' of rubbed graphite (I assume---maybe you used a wash of some kind?), like the head emerged out of the clouds...like a big temple sitting on a high peak...And putting him at the bottom--well, any number of your abstracts explore compositions with huge activity on one side of an image; and it always expresses power. He's almost ground to the sky above (so to speak), the foundation of the piece. Drawings like this show your intensity---something I see in nearly every drawing you've posted. And I love how you made 'clouds' out of graphite in several of your drawings. (1984...that seems so long ago! Like, we didn't have running water or electricity back then, and traveled in covered wagons...pay me no mind!)

Witty and wild!
