I was working on different shading techniques today. This is one of the more successful results. While I was working I kept dropping my pencils and breaking the inch long leads I’d carefully scrapped away. Inch long leads were obviously not made for clumsy people like me!
I also spent a lot of my time toning paper. I recently bought a slew of printing and drawing papers from the art store with the idea that I would try them and see which ones I like best. Of course, I falied to write down the names of any of them.
Oh well. The weather was very nice.

I know that doesn’t look like it, but that is an onion. It is also another shading practice. Now, maybe I’m just complaining, but I think a white onion might be easier to paint than it is to draw.
