colour pencil and silverpoint
I am known to re-invent the wheel over and over. Still, I wanted to share my present experiments with you. In my attempt to have smooth value transitions and to darken tight areas I am using my silverpoint at the moment.
What I like is that this smoothes out applied colour (rather similar to blending but with a darkening effect depending on pressure and layercount), it can really produce dark darks in the pupils, the nostrils, etc, and it helps to get a very slight dark layer over reflections in fluids or glass.
Best of all, I can very easlily remove the darkening with my kneaded eraser.
I am just wondering if a copper wire would produce black as well or would that then more to rebrown? If yes, that might help enormously for portraits.
ADDENDUM COPPER: I just found some copper wire. No difference. If there were a difference it seems to tend to be darker.
Could be that I needed to post such drawings in Mixed Media though.
