Dan Pyle, charcoal drawings

I work almost exclusively in charcoal, sometimes adding a slight amount of color with chalk pastels. My drawings are in a photorealistic style on either illustration board, or wood panels. The subjects I draw vary from human to still life. I try to capture fragments of life or an emotion in my work & my compositions are usually untraditional.
