| In week five we focused on using different tools for drawing: vine charcoal, erasers, compressed charcoal, and blending stumps. The vine charcoal was the primary drawing tool for lines and shapes, we used compressed charcoal for the darkest shadows such as those below the model's jaw, the eraser to create highlights such as those in the model's hair and on her forehead, and the blending stumps to blend the shades of the reflected light.
I could have used another 20 minutes or so to work on the model's hand, it's a bit rough. | ![]() |
