I guess some drawings are more about the contour — in which case the pen is great — but other days the volume of things seems more interesting and then the pencil seems to fit the bill.
great sketch. I too love pencil sketching, but tend away from it in favor of the percieved impact of w/c, HOWEVER, in the hands of one talented as you are, the medium almost doesn’t matter!
Thanks so much Peggy. Yes, I am always a bit sad if I don’t have time to paint every day but the lowly and underrated pencil has been giving me much joy these days.
Now that is a tough subject… a bit like the eggs… all smooth curves, white surfaces, no dark shadows to define the shapes. That means the tones have to be light, very light and white. Good job!
I still think that eggs in an egg carton (do you have those in Canada?) would be a challenging subject for you… I might even try myself.
Yes, that was tough to draw with all that shiny white and those sharp little reflections.
Eggs is an egg carton would be a good challenge and yes, we do have those in Canada : )
Excellent!
