Add a Color to
Your Paper (continued)
This is a continuation of the drawing starting from page 250.
The chair that the model is sitting on has been defined here.
Some additional shading was added to the side plane of the
thigh and to the center area of the lower back. The artist did
not make this area too dark in tone, as there is still light on
this area; however, the light is not as strong as the light on
the upper back.
Now you can see the development of the foot. The ankle-
bone is defined by shading around the protruding bone
itself. The artist has suggested the toes by using a few simple
lines and accents. Notice that the light is hitting the heel
strongly, and white pastel is used on top of the white paper
(where the pastel was rubbed off) to emphasize this.
Likewise, the shadow underneath the foot is quite dark
because hardly any light is able to penetrate this area. The
area formed by the arm on the leg is also shaded to show
the shadow the arm is casting.
Note:If you find that erasing the pastel does not give you a white
enough white for a highlight, you can use white pastel instead.
