Drawing the Human Figure chapter 12


This is the completed drawing. The artist further defined the foot by showing the toes as slightly bent. The hair was devel-
oped by adding more dark accents and lines. Overall, the artist has added more white pastel to the light areas and further
developed the top half of the back. This was done by adding a very light tone with charcoal. However, note that this area of
the back is well lit. Any addition of charcoal here must be applied very lightly, as you do not want to destroy the illusion of
light. Notice how the further addition of white pastel emphasizes the rib cage and hip area.
