Tonal study in in conté crayon, charcoal and pastel on brown wove paper. This quick sketch of a male figure which appears in the far distance of Evelyns composition, standing in the shadows of angelic light as he forges forward on his journey along the rocky path of lifes hardships, focuses primarily on the form of the figure and the way light hits it.
