Description

Day 112 of my 366 daily art project! A lot more are on the way! Please read all about my project and charity below and in my journal.

So... I accidentally fell in love with this one. :love:
I'm putting in my own $8 for the Safehouse Project and will keep this one for my own little collection. :D

>>Created with charcoal and highlighted with chalk on 2.5x3.5 ACEO Black Strathmore 500 Series charcoal paper . About 2.5 hours.

:bulletred: See all my ACEO's in my gallery here: [link]





-----------------

♥ For every day of 2012, I will be drawing one ACEO sketch card. Every single one will be for sale - ALL proceeds to be donated to charity at the end of 2012.

My charity of choice is a local foundation called Alternatives to Violence, who is currently raising money to build a safehouse. This safehouse will provide a secure shelter to men, women and children who have recently escaped physical and sexual abuse.

With the safehouse, 312 individuals every year will receive crisis intervention, counseling, safety planning, advocacy and shelter.

Together, through art, we can help make a difference.

I just love the way you use lighting in your  pieces.
It's so fluent, and natural, and not many can do
that the right way. This is just lovely and I can't 
take my eyes of it. 
Btw what brand of charcoal do you use most often?
(I know that tinted charcoal is made by Derwent, but 
quality chalk, or "white charcoal" as some call it is
rather difficult to find).
