Here’s another attempt — same reference and same tracing — (Photo by Clarke Sanders on Unsplash). Much closer, except for the model’s left side.

More Head Practice
Here I was drawing free-hand against a traced copy of the reference photo (by Clarke Sanders on Unsplash). I merged the free-hand and the traced to see how far (or how close) I was to actual proportions. I added red pencil to the free-hand version so the lines would show up better in comparison.
While the face is relatively in the same proportions as the original, it’s substantially smaller all around. (Sigh.)

Fir Trees in Snow: attempt #2
This study was inspired by an image by Yann Allegre on Unsplash. I used the same pastels as I used for my previous effort, but I added a more detailed underpainting using NuPastels, after sketching the trees with vine charcoal.
