Drawings are at once the heartbeat, the bones, the musculature, and the spirit of all art. Drawings constitute a unique language for each artist, and the viewer is privileged to glimpse the skeletal elements of the art process first-hand. Drawings are personal: they reveal , they are intended as notes, they are a means to an end, and they represent the embryo of genius...the moment of an artist's truth.

Missing
Not very fond of color, I reluctantly proceeded with pastels and was surprised that it gave life to the composition...something that it was otherwise missing.

Both of these are quite amazing. I might say that the use of color is where you get to do a bit of "flying" compared to the monochrome study. Lovely work either way!
Color does add sparkle to your drawing.
Nicely done!
Awesome work, as always.
I often like black and white, but this one really did come to life with the addition of color. Great work!
What I do like about the addition of color is that it's not overdone. It's perfect as is the first.
very well said!
Wow. Sublime achieved.
