My name is Miles. I'm a 16 year old art student interested largely in figuration, classical and modern. I work with a few other artists (at the local studio and critic-contacts) in the forum, Moysturfurmer and Ammoburger, whose sketchbooks I highly recommend. I'm posting some recent work first off, a lot of master studies and a couple of life. I'm open to any commentary - value related especially. Thank you.

Gustav Klimt's Sophia Knips portrait - charcoal



My Dad in charcoal - truncated the body a little



John Sargent's portrait of his teacher, Carolus-Duran - charcoal



Head of Medea by J.W. Waterhouse - charcoal



Unfinished self-portrait in black colored pencil



John Sargent's portrait of his sister, Emily Sargent (unfinished) - charcoal
