Ok...so....it's been a little more than a "day or so"....I've been a busier than a long tailed cat in a room full of rockers!
I'm trying to start 8 different pieces at once plus running a sign shop! To add to the wonderful madness..... I've been doing a "low tech" video of this piece. I'm trying my hand at creating an instructional video CD, using just MPEGS and JPEGS. (What's wrong with me?!
In this session I've spent more time just putting in hints of the background of the couch. Don't know about you all but I'm not interested in spending four times the work on what's in back of the subject.
The way I've acheieved this is to pull out shapes by daubing the graphite with a kneaded eraser and BluTack poster putty.
So far, I've got about 8 hours in this one. I'm 90% finished.
