This was finished in September of '99. It is 18"x24" and was done using compressed charcoal, charcoal pencils, and any other form of charcoal I could get my hands on. It was meant to be the close-up of any part of the face with any part of the hand included in some way. Many people did lips with the index finger over them in a "shhh" sort of image. Unfortunately, I have major issues with lips as you may notice in other drawings. The hair was done using long strokes of compressed charcoal then long strokes of erasures using a needed eraser.
