It looks like I still have a lot more days to go before I begin the plaster cast lol. Maybe doing a master copy for now would be nice. Perhaps Bernini would be right choice? :).
Before I jump right in, quick values studies always helps. I don’t know why I didn’t do this kind of thing from the very start.
Plate 19 of Day 075
Watch out for sharp/abrupt edges on your tones. It ruins the illusion of roundness
Oh ok, I believe I was emphasizing those edges way too much. I will pull back. Thank you for that note Joshua 🙏.
For the past few weeks I have also been working on this technique that I’ve learned from Glenn Vilppu. I find this approach very unique and I’ve enjoyed working with it a lot.
It’s basically drawing on toned paper. The only difference is that you’re using powdered charcoal as your toned surface. This would allow you to draw with the kneaded eraser, just as if your drawing with the white chalk on toned paper. However you may go back with the white chalk to really define the forms or use it as highlights. This approach also allows you to work fairly quickly but I will take my time, treating it still as an academic practice :).
