At top is a 15-minute study, done with charcoal on 18 x 24" Japanese paper. I liked the challenge of the lighting on L- 's foreshortened face, though I don't feel I got a strong likeness.
Below are a couple more 15-minute studies, done on 18 x 24" cartridge paper with hard compressed charcoal. On the upper one I took a further stab at having only a body portion, rather than the whole figure approach I usually use. For the lower one, I went back to my more default position of drawing the full figure. The comparatively flat lighting made conveying the foreshortening challenging.
