Sméagol study No.2, charcoal on paper

This loose charcoal study was to prepare for my new altered painting inspired by the Sméagol singing about the fish he caught. I wanted to capture the moment when Gollum withdrew, and Sméagol emerged with his sweet disposition. 

With this one I will include the figure study as well as the portrait, just for interest in the progression of the work.
