Red Pear (detail)
pencil and graphite stick on 90lb Stonehenge paper
5 1/2 x 5 1/2 inches
I started out cross-hatching, then I couldn’t keep my fingers out of it, so I blended the pencil a bit. Then, I thought I’d try using a baby wipe as a blender, and it worked surprisingly well. Apparently, whatever is in the liquid works as a solvent for graphite. Who knew?!
It won’t win any prizes, but I’ve been really sucky about drawing lately, so I figure that anything I do is better than doing nothing.
