Every Every Every Every Day…

My best day of single page combo gestures in the past month. After this I switched out to small toned paper for a few weeks.

Here’s a crop of the bigger image. Maybe it was just a great model that day…

Lesson learned. Thanks Danger.

18 x 24 Scaling up is a challenge.

Reflected light study, using kneaded eraser to blend and layer.

Trying out using core shadow of direct light combined with volumetric lighting of the mind’s eye: mixing them is a new idea.

Most of February my gesture sessions were toned paper with b&w or sepia & brown or all 4 as used here.

After this longer set I moved on to pen and ink, colored pencil, charcoal pencil, and graphite pencil.
