These were done for Drawing from the Masters with Mark Karnes. It was a great class that reaffirmed the importance of master copies. I find them to be pretty relaxing and I always feel like I've learned a lot when I'm done. The 2nd piece was done after the Nerdrum copy (1st picture). It was a kind of reinterpretation, I mostly focused on the texture and general composition. Both are Charcoal and a bit of pastel on BFK.

i thoroughly enjoy these especially those slight bits of pastel

i do think the nose in the 2nd one is a little odd tho.
