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.

About Me
- Eden
- By day...I work in the Healthcare field, where every .. i.. has to be dotted and every ..t.. has to be crossed. This blog is the place where I can let myself go and have some fun. I am on a journey. A journey I started a long time ago, but it has been a bit sidetracked with Navy Wife relocations and raising kids. I finally see the light at the end of the tunnel and I have got some time for me. No, I will not be one of those moms walking around the house with Empty Nest Syndrome, I have got way too much to do, to learn, to create. Sure, once the kids are gone I will miss them....but hey, there is always the phone, the email, the texting and the Plane tickets! I love my life and my family and It is fun moving into this new stage. I am into Digital Scrapbooking, photography, journaling, Art Journaling and Drawing. I am a do-it-yourselfer and I am trying to teach myself to draw. I am finding that it takes a lot of patience, lots of practice and a good eraser! And if you're really curious there's a 3 part Interview by Eileen: HERE All the best, Eden
