The thing about conte




Hi Ngaire,
Yes, the squarish block of conte doesn't help with expressing tones. I learnt to use neutral-toned papers for conte, so that i have less problems with tones for my figures. Otherwise, you can draw by holding the stick at the end with your thumb and index finger, for light workings. But above all, the advice on squinting from Debra drives home the main message for learning to draw figures well.
