RE: A drawing I did when I was 15
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.
