Work in Progress


I have finally done it... I've ventured in to the world of blogging!
I thought it would be interesting to start with a drawing I'm currently working on ... Showing each stage along the way.

The image is 9 x 11

I'm using Arches hot press watercolour paper
clutch pencils in 6B, 4B, 2B, HB, 2H, 4H, 6H
Electric eraser
Blending stumps
chamois
Contact paper

After I've got my image down and I'm happy with the perspectives.
I blend to get tonal variation and I start crosshatching... crosshatching is my thing! I love it...Patently drawing layer over layer ... And slowly seeing the flat image turning 3 dimensional is awesome.

Any comments, critiques or questions are welcome.
