Just taking a quick moment to share our long drawing from last night's drawing group! One of my favorite models, a lovely pose and subtle lighting. This is Nupastel on cranberry colourfix paper, 13" x 19". I started with dark blue and dark red, slowly adding the lighter skin tones.
I made sure to develop the drapery at the same time as the figure. Because the drapery was light silver, I had to make sure the light value of the drapery was correct compared to the light values in her skin. Also, being silver and a little shiny, it had a reflective quality. So, as I found the colors in her skin tones, I had to pick them up in the drapery as well.
