Today’s exercise: since I am more comfortable inking, what if I did my pencils IN ink, using tracing paper rather than the tedious erasing of pencils? I think it turned out rather well, though there’s an error in the face shape I caught a bit too late and could not fully correct without starting over. Nevertheless, it’s not bad. What I started with was this picture, from a local fashion catalog<\/a> which came to our house:<\/p>\n This I roughed – not traced, roughed by hand – on one sheet of tracing paper:<\/p>\n Then, I corrected and tightened this drawing on a second sheet of tracing paper:<\/p>\n Finally, I corrected and rendered this drawing on the third sheet of tracing paper that started the blog. If this wasn’t a drawing every day exercise, I’d have started over on the face, as it was out of proportion and angle to the original reference. I think I have a tendency to straighten up heads, which makes faces that are at an angle look very weird unless I work hard to correct it.<\/p>\n Still … drawing every day.<\/p>\n -the Centaur<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Today’s exercise: since I am more comfortable inking, what if I did my pencils IN ink, using tracing paper rather than the tedious erasing of pencils?
