R. P. Taylor - Self Portraits
Left Profile
Pencil Drawing

This drawing with 8 cm high head was done at 10:10 pm on white sketch pad paper. Three other drawings (insets top) were made that night, immediately before this one - all with a fine point marker pen : (1) a full profile (top left), (2) a three quarter view (top center), and finally a partial left profile, limited by the mirror's edges (top right). This profile here not only offers interesting contrasts with them, but also with other profiles (insets bottom) done at different times: (1) paralleling some other pencil profiles bottom left), (2) differing markedly from more minimal marker drawings (bottom center left), and (3) contrasting most strongly with some abstract profiles done a few nights later (insets bottom center right and far right).
