This was an attempt to speed up my from-life sketching. I’m not sure exactly how long it took as I lost track of time, but by the time I finished the sun was going down and my legs had gone numb, so more practice needed.
Dilute Lexington Gray ink in a waterbrush made the shading very satisfying to apply. Each application builds up the tone, making it quite versatile.
Another great example of fresh and direct sketching. Losing track of time is a sure sign of ‘flow’ and absorption. I’m not sure what the numb legs are a symptom of… Ed
Piles, probably.
