Drawing on the polyester film was like running my hands across a length of satin fabric. This was the first time I’ve used it. For the most part I was able to build up fairly rich values, and erase back to a pretty clean surface. However I did manage to create a permanent mark. I think I used too hard of a pencil and pressed too firmly.
As usual, I did value studies before developing the drawing. Here’s the one I liked best.
Meet “Jack in the Green”. I tried to keep the spirit of the study, the mood, as I worked on the pencil drawing. Here’s a shot of the completed drawing. As the project progresses, my plan is to experiment with loosening up and explain less visually.
