covering large areas

I know that trying to do a large prisma drawing is time consuming to say the least. One way to make things go much faster is to do a loose wash under painting with thin acrylics. Then spray lightly with a workable fixative. Let it dry then you're ready to put in all the detail with pencils.

values and erasing

as much as possible use dark over light unless blending. an electric eraser works best especially if you need to add highlights over a darker color.

Kenny, I could listen to Summertime almost daily. Thanks for commenting on "Janis" I appreciate it.

Thank you for your kind words.

Oh, that's O.K. Kenny, I've been called a lot worse! Besides Pam is a pretty name. LOL. Peg

Kenny: Thank you for the nice comment about Devin The Teen! I do have a question for you. Do I look like a Pam to you? You call me that and come to think of it a few other people I know call me that also. LOL. Peg

Thank you so much for your wishes, Kenny. I'm seeing a new doctor, so hopefully I'll start feeling better this year. :)

Wait, I was wrong. I used mostly Prismacolor turquoise on this one (duh, that's why I uploaded that one). But on my first drawing of my self portrait I used the Staedtler. Sorry about that. My brain's not working right today. Have a good one.

Hey Kenny. Thanks for the compliments. On my cat drawing in graphite I used Staedtler(Mars Lumograph) pencils in 2H, HB, 3B, and 6B. All Graphite, and I don't think I used the eraser at all. I went light to dark and did some layering like I do in colored pencil, just at a much lesser amount. I'm really liking graphite so far, but it is difficult for me to remember to work around the light areas. And my hand smudges a bit. I'm learning how to fix it though! Best wishes. :)

Kenny, Thanks for commenting on "Hot Dawg" I appreciate it. If someone was to pay me for advertising that would be great! If you know someone let me know,lol!

Umm yep, been checking em out and you know how I am! LOL. You're very welcome and keep up the great work Kenny. Peg
