"Plein air nude" female figure drawing on toned paper

I like the fluidity of the vine charcoal and how it responds on the paper, the charcoal pencils I use mostly to reinforce the darks and strengthen the drawing, other artists and art students have told me that they find the vine charcoal 'intimidating', tools are just a matter of personal preference, use whatever works for you the best.

Young girl with earrings 8x11 charcoal drawing on Canson paper

Almost a vintage look to this one, my goal is not to create something that looks like a photograph, if you look closely you'll notice that there's a different treatment of the parts throughout the drawing, this I believe adds more variety and more suggestion of a three dimensional space, an even rendering throughout the drawing will lead to a flat result.
