New toys to play with, Derwent XL Graphite Sticks - really big sticks, different colors as well as the normal gray. Paper makes a huge difference, the rougher the better, better tooth holds color better, slick paper not as effective!

Changes!

Worked on this one from the previous graphite one. Added paint, paper, gesso, more paint, paper. Moved stuff around. Got a bit messy, some technical issues. But I like it. And then I may tear it to bits and make another one! Maybe not just like this one, but another one!

Getting tired by this time, a bit stale now, but still something interesting about this. I may take this one and incorporate it into something else. We shall see . . . .

This was fun! The area of coming together of the hand, elbow, breast, belly was rather complex but somehow made it easier to do - like working a puzzle. Then you have the bit of relief with the hand, and chin and the lightest shoulder behind everything - sort of contradictory. And I didn't overwork it - yay!

I'm liking this one the more I look at it - don't think I'll tinker with it anymore.

The last crop

Just trimmed away a bit of the leg and top, seems to be more peaceful or something, yes?

Crop Version 2

This means something else. I mean it could just go anywhere.

Not so contrived after all?

Crop version 1

Extended Pose Night Aftermath!

I wanted to see if I could put into practice the theory that I could actually work without the model in front of me. And I wanted to see how far I could kill it before bringing it back. And I wanted to see if cropping would help - it does - following you will see how much better it looks when half of it isn't there! HA!
