A Queenly Charcoal Picture

This morning, while eating breakfast, I got the itch to make a sketch in my sketchbook. So, I did. It is about 3 inches by four inches.

But, I know she does not look like Queen Elizabeth, so this afternoon, I tried another one with charcoal and my kneaded eraser. This one is 8×8.5 inches on watercolor paper over purple acrylic paint.

Well, I think this one looks a little more like her. Maybe I will do one that takes a little time… We will see…
