Oh, oh,,,,,,,,,,,,Colorized!
I guess if I was actually in an atelier, I would have my hands swatted with a mahl stick.
I had already started adding color when you replied, Mischa. I thought it might be interesting to add conte, like the old colorists of the 50's and 60's photography world. I have an old senior high school photo with the most outrageous color of pink on my lips using this technique. This drawing was a perfect candidate.
I did incorporate some of the suggestions in your image, Mischa. Her arms are much lighter and her face will be lighter also. I haven't finished yet........ and have not given up on charcoal. I'll get the eraser and at this point need all new kneaded erasers and more vine charcoal. I also would never have thought of scraping as a method to remove those dark spots.
All the best to you too! You are a great long distance teacher.
