Here are some samples of her work......

Look how she has worked out the illusion of a single light source here...... (charcoal on paper)

Look at the use of a stretched paper shape here (cool shapes and values too)....

Here is some of her high school work (perhaps for an AP portfolio?)

 Ink on paper (you could use sharpie marker, or ball point pen)

 Good 'ol cloth study- nice composition and value range...

Strong use of value, look at the negative space shapes too!!! (charcoal on paper)
