On the Slab - self-portrait charcoal drawing of dead artist in morgue with toe tag

charcoal drawing of dead man with toe tag lying on a slab in morgue
While taking my first Life Drawing class at college, we were given an assignment to render the human form using extreme foreshortening. As a bit of a joke, I worked up this self-portrait of myself "dead" and lying down on a morgue slab with a cloth draped over me and a toe tag.

Materials Used: Charcoal on Bond Paper
Dimensions: 18" x 24"

Status: Lost
