Reversal Drawing

[IILooney]

I finished this way back when, not too long ago. I used charkole, about 4 kneaded erasers and a reference photo. It was mainly a technical exercise focused on value.

Excellent study! The only crit I have is that I seem to remember the dead man, the woman in the middle (presumably his wife), and the older woman on the left (his mother?) to be of a higher value.

Then again, the photo is a little blurry and my monitor is dim so I'm sure it looks MUCH better in real life.
