Brass candlestick and silk rope tie-back

12" x 16" pastel on suede board
I have drawn this silk rope about 5 times...this is the closest I have come to getting it yet.
I used to doodle convolutions of the brain...(least that's what they looked like to me...repetitious curves that with tight changes could change directions and give a sense of volume. I haven't fixed this drawing, but I may so i can keep working it. The suede board gives an interesting feel to the charcoal under-drawing....but it doesn't hold as much pastel as regular charcoal paper does.
