How you approach a drawing is completely different to the way I would, so I am learning a lot.<br /><br />I have trouble keeping my lights light when I start to add in the darks. Would you explain a little more how to keep them?Carolnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3941609349878891492.post-81496432545724916242009-06-15T14:56:24.543-07:002009-06-15T14:56:24.543-07:00Lisa, I use the white plastic eraser.

Some papers are soft, lots of ppl recommend Stonehenge, a printmaking paper, but I find that too soft it requires too many layers for me.<br /><br />I'm glad you're watching along, and please ask anything else you think of!

I have only done on colored pencil drawing and I felt like is was much harder than just strictly graphite. Can I ask, what kind of eraser works best with colored pencil? That is a big problem I had because it would just kind of smudge it around. Can't wait to see more!Lisa Ullrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08813571479438626063noreply@blogger.com
