Figure Drawing Class Using Toned Paper
This week in our figure drawing class we used toned paper and black and white media- my pencils were Conte. We had two models and two poses, each about 40 minutes to draw the two models together. This was one of my goals, so I'm glad we did it, and I think I learned about how to add dark and light tones - with the paper representing the mid-value. I actually made myself a sketchbook of toned paper last year and had picked out various types of black and white pencils, and tested them all in preparation for my project. Then I fractured my wrist and that was a project I deferred.
It was Halloween and the older male model had on devil horns and the younger one had his real Mohawk hair gelled into position.
