Testing 1-2-3.
I wanted a relatively simple project because I’m still shuffling stuff from the old studio to the new one.
I used a small, bijou cut from some black paper. Working on black is my specific project for this month. I chose Toodles because it’s a nice, graceful tangle that I like to draw. It also provided me with some larger areas to fill with color.
I wanted to experiment with colored pencils on black. In this case I chose the Faber Castell Polychromos. I used the lightest/brightest shades of green, orange and yellow. Two shades of grey were used for some of the shadowing. Over all, I think the colors are rather dull. I am going to keep looking through my stash for something that has better coverage of the black.
Back to the drawing board!
