We continue focusing on texture with this drawing of an eggshell and egg. I’ll use graphite this time, exploring techniques for shading and detail. Follow along with this reference image, if you’d like! https://bit.ly/2KKidzr
Today, I’m working with:
- White Drawing Paper
- Ebony Pencil (or you can use a soft graphite pencil 4B-6B or darker)
- White Charcoal Pencil
- Kneaded and Rubber Erasers
In this session, we’ll cover:
