Project #9: White Conte on a Dark Ground

This is a fun exercise to try your hand at and your mind, as you must think in reverse! Similar to charcoal drawings we have been involved with, you must, must, MUST work this type of a drawing up slowly, allowing your values to separate slowly -- and pushing the highest contrast areas of value at the very end.
