Companion of Diana


I wanted to experiment with this drawing a bit more, so I drew it again on white drawing paper with regular graphite pencil, instead of the carbon pencil as before. It wasn't much different. Then I drew it on a piece of light grey/brown pastel paper, so that the highlights would be white pastel, instead of the white of the paper as before. I liked doing that one the best.

  3. Debbie, you are brave for three tries! I like working on toned paper for these kinds of drawings too, but I also appreciate your spiral bound version.

  6. Beautiful drawings! I can't decide which one I like the best but the one on toned paper really looks great with the darker shadows. Great job on both Debbie!

  8. Very well done, Debbie! Really love the one on toned pastel paper! It allowed you to work up and down from a near mid value.
