Head of Achilles

Here is silverpoint drawing #19:

I'm restricting myself to only posting the better silverpoint drawings here. All of them (probably) will eventually find themselves on the Silverpoint a Day blog. I must say that I'm learning a lot from this exercise, about drawing, structure & so on. I'm also finding ways of integrating my regular themes (mythology & so forth) into this series.
