Working With Conté and White on Toned Paper

[New Masters Academy]

In this video lesson, world-famous artist and instructor Glenn Vilppu demonstrates how to draw the female figure on toned paper using graphite, two kinds of white, and a soft sanguine conté crayon pencil. You will learn how to start with a loose gesture and construct simple forms on top that gesture. Glenn will also show you how to work with the core shadow and reflected light, eventually applying a sharp graphite line to tighten up the contours for a powerful effect.

• Staedler Graphite Pencil – HB
• Conté Sketching Pencil – Sanguine, White
