Module 4, Chapter 2: Drawing Tone

In this chapter I worked from B&W photographs, with occasional reference to the colour photographs to look at details.

 

1.

2.	I rubbed the whole sheet  with graphite  and created the highlights with a rubber. The shades were done with a B6 pencil and graphite stick.
3.	The tones were drawn with a B6, the veins in the leaves with an H2 pencil.
I was curious about how I could do tonal drawing on this  small scale.	The best thing to do, it seemed, was to block in the negative shapes (done with 8B pencil) and let them push the shoes into the foreground.
