Another recent version

I really like how dark the original version was, but here is a brighter version. Feels more garish and the drawing doesn't blend together as much as I would wish.

Loosing A LOT of contrast from application to web which is a frustrating part of the process I seem to run into quite a bit .

Third drawing of the day after scribbling my dream down. My son, looking through a book, asks me "why don't pictures move?" Sometimes I forget just how much media does move these days. I savor still images, but there is more moving media being made all the time maybe still images and book illustration and comics will start to look like Egyptian heiroglyphics, some outdated quaint mode of expression.

Life Drawing 3/13/2014 Demonstration.

This is what happens when I work on a $4.00 piece of paper!
One of the great things about Rives BFK, 250gsm, 22" x 30" is that the surface can be manipulated far into the drawing process. In fact after my initial vine charcoal layout I built up tone using a paperstump and a chunk of water soluble graphite and then, after the washes had dried, I was able to erase some of the long light drips with a gum eraser. You can't do that on your regular paper. Also this stuff just loves water and stayed perfectly flat after the washes had been applied.
During the class we listened to Alex Grey and Scott McCloud's Ted Talks.

And I'm teaching Life Drawing next term at Portland Community College.
