Figure Drawing: Pencil

Size of Work ( Height x Width ):  11 in by 9 inches

•  Materials Used: Pencil 

• Process Used                                                                                                                  I started off by using my pencil to measure the proportions of my reference so that my drawing is accurate. Then I drew contour lines and filled my drawing in by shading. Shading was a challenge I faced because I struggled to identify the different shades reflected on the mannequin by the light and control pressure on my pencil to show these different shades. One thing that I learned towards the end though was that if I blur my eyes out it makes it much easier to identify the dark and light areas. I was also too focused on shading everything in that I didn’t use the white of the paper as much.
