Messing up a Mime….part 3



I shaded in a little bit more.  Then went back to the mime-folds. I took this picture outdoors since I prefer natural light when I can get it. 



I’m learning to see the “backlight” on objects.  Where the light has reflected back on a fold for instance and amongst the shadows you can see just a wee bit of light along a line.  Nothing's better than the gummy eraser for taking away a very narrow stripe of graphite.



The flaws are getting more obvious as I progress.  The contour drawing (outline) was a bit off in the arm.  I’ve made it too short.  May use my creative license and ignore it.
