                                              Drawing study #1


                                         "Pebble Study I"       
                                  Faber-Castell Polychromos 10" X 10" 

Picture
The drawing begins with a simple line drawing. Background colours are put in first but areas for highlights left untouched. Shadows are included and more colours added.
Picture
The colours are blended with a cotton bud  which pushes the colour into the grain of the paper. The smoothness adds a more realistic effect.
Picture
A popular approach to showing a "work in progress" is to work certain areas to a stage of completion whilst leaving areas unstarted.
Picture
        The larger areas requiring more work will be completed last.
