This is a little project I did while giving an art lesson to a very talented student. We were working from photos in fashion magazines. The resource material was not very helpful, and the light was poor, so I had to contrive a few effects to get a satisfactory result. I finished the project without the aid of the resource material, so much of this is improvised.
I started drawing with an HB pencil and then went to a 6b. Later I used a light and medium charcoal pencil for the deeper values. I came back over the charcoal with the HB pencil to get a little rubbing in and blending. I use the blending stub liberally in the shadows and on the left background.
I really enjoyed the project.
