She knows your talent is large, your limits high. Wants you to reach--<i>and exceed</i>--them!<br /><br />That eyeball thing on the first one is kinda unnerving....I like the way you handle the pastel/pencil on black paper. Looks great!<br /><br />p.s. I'm sure this post will blaze across the internet, but if you really want to flame them, add some hashtags to this post...something like #NorthParkDrawingGroup or #InstagramTyrannyDavis Chinohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16168954208679712542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19949517.post-37809113514311534042015-07-26T11:16:27.270-07:002015-07-26T11:16:27.270-07:00I agree, you’re being dissed.

I thought I felt it with my pencil drawings when other folks were using charcoal or some sort of color.

The working on black to pull the figure out, sort of like the supernatural deal you were talking about, is why I did this experiment. I think I did not leave enough black. Too much tortillon on the last 20 minutes.<br />BDMontaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10668132947298479801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19949517.post-48656230515885776402015-07-25T17:40:47.236-07:002015-07-25T17:40:47.236-07:00Beautiful Ben!
