2nd entry for Nov. 3, 2014





These are a 10-minute and two 15-minute line drawings at top, done with Pitt pen on 18 x 24" sheets of Canson Recycled Sketch paper.
The second from the bottom is water-soluble graphite and Artgraf washes on an 18 x 24" sheet of Canson Montval watercolour paper. The value range and handling is starting to remind me here of some of the conte on newsprint studies that I was doing in the first couple of years that this blog has been running. (But now with more solid and substantially longer-lasting materials)

I stayed on for the afternoon 2-hour pose, which generated the bottom image. Karen sitting was a fairly static and generic-looking situation, so I decided to try a close-cropped composition, and focus a bit more on the character of her particular skin texture.
It is also water-soluble graphite and Artgraf washes on an 18 x 24" sheet of Canson Montval paper.
