Waiting in the Little Black Dress




Okay, blast away.

This is charcoal and a very pale yellow conte. I'm unhappy with the paper as I don't seem to be able to lift and mold the charcoal around. Especially her left arm, it looks hairy to me. I'm concentrating very hard on form, but am having to develop a new method of creating my lines, (hatch marks). Instead of the longer curved lines I used to use, I now have to use shorter lines with more control (due to my shoulder).

But I'm trying, reading Juliette Aristides book on atelier training and jumping in way over my head, but working nonetheless.

It's 18x26 inches on Fabriano paper---not sure which one, I'm going to have to start labeling all paper immediately in the future.
