I drew another portrait of Jane tonight. This time the challenge was to try to get the texture of the veil across the entire picture. After I did the outline, I scored the paper with a pin in a criss-cross pattern where the veil was to be. Then when I shaded over the top, the scored lines were to remain white. This worked to some degree, but not as much as I was hoping. I think it covered up the white lines when I used my finger to soften the pencil strokes. When I was doing the scoring, I also accidentally rubbed out a few of my outlines - which made it difficult to get those parts right. It was good to try new things - I will have to try that effect again sometime to see if I can perfect it.
Still looking for takers for the Faces for Funding project to raise money for the Kane family who is going to Cambodia with Interserve. If you would like a portrait drawn, please email me at summertimeink@gmail.com with the photo you would like drawn and how much you would like to donate.
Peace out!
