With white paper, I could simply erase to highlight/lighten, but with a medium value I need to ADD a light value, and the white pastel won't stick to the graphite, but I tried anyway...lol ...Tim Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08952300416087576056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32474280.post-10686587265065725482008-05-24T14:30:00.000-05:002008-05-24T14:30:00.000-05:00Looks great Tim.

I'm simply SEEING more of the subtle aspects of shade and light on faces, and I've been going REALLY slowly with my caricatures, usually, really OBSERVING. I tell artists all the time: slow down and observe. You won't make as much money NOW, but you'll grow as an artist. If you draw what you see while caricaturing, and THINK about what you're seeing, you can't help but improve, and, BELIEVE ME, I've REALLY needed to improve. ...Yet, much to do...Tim Gardnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08952300416087576056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32474280.post-16254014889273275192008-05-21T23:12:00.000-05:002008-05-21T23:12:00.000-05:00Are you freakin' kiddin' me???
