RE: A drawing I did when I was 15

in #art7 years ago

This is one of my favorites of yours, Matt. How long do you think it took to complete? It almost reminds me of impressionistic art where they use a small mark to create the illusion of something when looked at from far away.

In the close-up, it looks like a bunch of little, vertical lines, and then a different texture for the scarf. And it doesn't look like you did any smudging for a shading effect.

Thank you, Erin. I think this took about about 40 hours to complete. A lot of detail. I used cross-hatching to get the shading and gradation I needed. Colored pencil doesn't blend very well with tissue or anything like that, so you have to blend by using lighter strokes.
