I drew this guy at the market today. I used my pastel pencils for the first time. The reference photo was from a friend.. So, I drew it outside my house, and this is something Hey.. :D I am so tired I can't draw anything else today. I was up at 4.00am, and I didn't get home until 6.00pm. I am tired and sore. I did paint two little frog paintings, I will photograph them tomorrow and post them. I quite like them for a change..
P.S.
I didn't realise until after I had photographed this, that there is a watermark on the edge of the paper. Just as well it is a practice drawing.. This pad must have gotten water damaged, the time I was caught in the rain storm at the market.

The highlights in his eyes. I could not for the life of me get the white pastel pencil to work on top of the darks. No way was it going to show up..:( I forgot to take a pencil sharpener too, so couldn't sharpen the darn pencil either.. (makes not to put sharpener in market bag)

ReplyDeletePastel pencils are hard just like hard pastels, so the get lighter colours over darker ones to stay put, use a soft pastel, JJ ;)
