...drawing. Sitting down in front of a sheet of white paper with nothing but a bit of charcoal is startlingly intimidating. White paper, for some reason, seems to beg greatness. One can get away with an apathetic scribble on any other colour of paper but the same on this great white expanse seems embarrasingly obsolete.  I don't use sketchbooks with white paper because I can't bear the thought of leaving pages un-filled or with partially-developed ideas. 
It was in order to escape a dangerous lapse in creativity caused by over-exposure to my own research that I decided to attempt these portraits. I had to "get back on the horse," as it were, if the horse were symbolic for basic artistic practice. Uninspiringly, they're copied from photographs. These were for practice, not for presentation.
