I found some lessons on Conté Ã Paris’ website and decided to have a play.
Materials: Conté Ã Paris Black B crayon, Pierre Noire H and Blanc 630 on Pink Pig Sketch Book 150gsm white mixed media cartridge.
Thoughts: This was a “Subtractive Drawing” lesson that used to be on Conté Ã Paris’ website: sadly no longer there for some reason. It said to use a black pastel pencil to make the paper grey, i didn’t have one so i used the Black B crayon instead. Need to try this same technique with a black or grey pastel instead and see what the difference is like.
Learned: That i can do a reasonable copy of something. How to use different erasers for drawing light in.
And: I definitely plan no coming back to this technique in the future and have some more playtime with it. It’s a fun way to draw.
In the meanwhile i have another picture on the go which i need to get finished.
