Hi,
Thank you, Mari and Steven.
I'm a nut, (but glad, too). I had the stage you meant (not perfectly but I had it!) Then my mistake: I continued to "expand" my work, to see THE black of charcoal. (Now, I call that: the trap of charcoal.
) I wish I hadn't done it. (The tone range "shifted" too dark.)
Mari, I try to keep in mind all that I read here, but it's not always all on my mind, yet. The drawing was from a video tape (screen). I think there was one light source and many indirect lights. I tried to focus as if there were only one.
Steven, WOW! At first I thought it was a picture of a real sculpture shot in artifical light (warm tone). It is phenomenal, but I still believe you sent a photo of a real sculpture. Paper? Size?
I must be read the topics about value etc. when I have more time (weekend).
Yesterday I found this picture of Moses (NOT my referece picture! Just the same viewpoint.)
Thank you for your time in responding.
Yours,
Leslie
P.S. Steven, I posted a picture of a pastel on velvet - my mistake at translation, not velvet, velour for soft pastel, not Cont
