I drew the baby’s profile today and was much happier with the results. I used the reversal of black and white that I talked about in my previous post to deal with the fact that a baby’s skin is so smooth and bright. Essentially, you focus on the background colors and shapes where they hit the edge of the object to create your drawing! (One of my brighter moments if you ask me:)
The light was really beautiful on Elon’s face as be slept. His cheeks were all flushed pink and his hair was sticking up in sweaty ringlets everywhere. I heart could just melt.
