I think I understand

Hi Steven,

I'm aware of the egg analogy, but haven't thought of it in years. I've simply been drawing what I see and trying to improve my "vision" so to speak. I think I understand how the egg pertains to my drawing and will start using it again. That probably explains why she looks slightly off. Her head was tilted and turned slighty to her right, I have the egg going the wrong way. Right?

My fingers were in this all the way, can't keep them out of the fun. They all have different uses, pinky does fine stuff, middle finger the big blending. The thumb when all are covered and I need a clean one!

I'll try this again, this drawing was a good exercise. I'll do more, gotta perfect this technique. I haven't worked much with charcoal (this is the second) but I need to be able to offer people an affordable alternative to paint. Besides, it was fun. I've printed out this thread for the other tips also. Thank you Steven, you're a good teacher.

Jean
