Work in progress - graphite portrait

Its taken a while but last night I finally started on the second of 3 portraits (the first of which is now framed and hanging on my wall until I take them all with me to Stewart Island next month to give them to the people they are of). The one is proving a little difficult as the image I'm working off is a little blurry, doesn't matter much for the shading but for the detail in the eyes and the mouth (both of which still need work) I'm having to apply a little artistic licence.

"Jack" - in progress

I hope to have this one finished tonight as well as a painting for my grandmother's birthday. Then there will just be 2 paintings and 1 portrait to be done by the end of the month...
