Contrast & Consistency



A brief session, with more values brought into line. I look for distractions, too-brights, too-darks, make adjustments with erasers, graphite pencils, Q-Tips. Get carried away, and softly-lit becomes muddy. I’m always looking for that ideal balance between contrast and consistency. Elusive, that one.

Great drawing and great works.

You will be able to get to the balance you aspire to reach, while you are ready to accept that balance does not necesarily go with simmetry, because the greatest harmony is to go along with the universe uneveness.
