Concentrated Efforts / Satisfying Results

These two figure drawings were part of my day last Saturday. When I later reviewed my work accomplished in the 3 hour session, I was pleased to find the results pleased me. I enjoyed working on the black paper, pulling out white highlights. For me the model then feels like a piece of sculpture.

In this piece I was experimenting with surface tones I created with oil crayons. Typically, as you see here, I use liquid acrylics to develop the negative spaces. Those spaces create abstract forms for me that enhance the total statement.
