Another plug for the All Media weekly drawing event. They post a set of possible refs and you choose one (or more) and spend nominally two hours on it. That’s exactly how long I spent on this tonal study using a graphite block and an eraser.
It’s a great way of keeping your drawing (painting, whatever) hand moving and is a lot of fun. Images are posted on Fridays. Give it a try!
Previously cross posted in the Drawing forum but the response you get there is in general minimal.
C&C always welcome.

May 26, 2018 at 9:28 pm #628468Good stuff Harry. I used to participate in the AMDE a long while ago, maybe I should look in again.
Nathan.
C&C always appreciated.
My art on InstagramMay 27, 2018 at 3:57 am #628469Thanks for commenting folks, much appreciated.
Constance I should have given the full name of the forum: All Media Art Events. So I should have written AMAE! Sorry! Find it in the ‘channels’ selection box near the top of the page.
Mac on reflection I think I have previously plugged it in the Drawing and Landscspe forums rather than here in Figure.
Clearly me auld memory’s not what it was…..
C&C always welcome.

May 28, 2018 at 8:05 am #628466Has a postcard feel to it. You just blocked it in no using lines instead going with the restrictions of the graphite block itself?
Bill,

Instagram, billwperryMay 28, 2018 at 1:03 pm #628470Using the graphite block I usually make a very rough outline sketch with the point such as it is then then start working up the tone. Where you have a very pronounced edge in the image it’s usually better to use an edge of the block to get the required sharpness and darkness.
C&C always welcome.
