Also, in some of my sketches, I have been experimenting with a water-soluable Pentel Sign Pen, which creates excellent darks when water is applied. People are very hard for me to paint. I am easing into the process by painting seated people from behind. I have had good luck with doing contour drawings of people, that is, drawing them with a single line and not lifting the pen from the paper until it is done. And most importantly: drawing what you are seeing and not what you think people look like. And lastly: draw all of the time. Keep a sketchbook always at hand and use it. Good Luck!joseph stoddardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00602436917322168913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8978028698836672910.post-41206662498661333362013-09-04T19:21:06.607-07:002013-09-04T19:21:06.607-07:00How did you get the darks in your sketch of the ma...How did you get the darks in your sketch of the man with the hat?
