next step

Just a quick up date to the process of creating the picture.

This is a small detail of the two central characters of the work . what I am looking at here is the development of the values of tone. Carefully looking at the relationship of tone between one area and another, basically whats light and dark and all the tones in between. You can still see in this snippet of the picture the texture of the paper which i will keep in some areas as it lends its self well to the subject for example the texture of the fine feathers on the peacock head. As this process develops you will start to see the depth in the picture develop. Its important to look at the development of the picture as a whole as well as how one element relates to the one next to it so the whole piece has continuity. The detail of the Lemurs eye was done with a 2b lead in a propelling pencil as the piece develops Ill be using various methods of mark making with various different applications of graphite. If you have any questions leave a comment and Ill try as best to answer them

Thanks Lee
