RECAP from TUESDAY:
  • OUR GOAL: to bump up our drawing to the next level
  • Paper is SOOOO important. Not for studies so much as final projects. Makes all the difference in blending & erasing. Strathmore 400 series is good but not archival. For your heirlooms you may want to last 100 years try Arches 140lb HOT PRESSED watercolor paper, use back side. JD Hillberry
  • We learned the pitfalls of using your finger to blend. JD Hillberry Youtube
  • How to sharpen your charcoal to a long 1 inch smooth point for even shading. Stan Prokopenko
  • Best way to blend with stumps, chamois, tissues & more. JD Hillberry Website
  • Using a charcoal sachet or sock to pounce Casey Baugh. Another good video on this is HERE  and visit his website HERE
  • Fun charcoal textures with alcohol, turpenoid, acetone Bradwynn Jones YouTube
  • Send me an email when you finish the EYE EXERCISE and I'm happy to critique!

NEXT WEEK:  Instructional segment on using liquid graphite, mechanical pencils & whatever else I come up with!

 EXERCISE:
Taking the BASIC SHAPES as far as you can!
These months of study we are answering the question
HOW DID THEY DO THAT?
 Images below represent some of the techniques we are currently studying!
You can choose your own subject but I will choose one to do together for those who wish to follow along. 
Here are a few POSSIBLES for FINAL DRAWING PROJECT

I looked through hundreds of old master drawings and could not find any that I was passionate about or like what I see by artists today! 
So we will be wise in using these for study only!
Never posting, exhibiting selling as our own work!!
