Discover the Pattern of Light and Shadow chapter 5
In this drawing, the range of tone is quite small. The artist used only about 40 percent of the tonal scale (from white to
black). The minimal use of contrast suggests the very round large mass of the back. There are no sharp angles or bony protru-
berances here. The few lines used can hardly contain the volume of the figure.
