He came in with about three gorgeous wet oil paintings he had done that morning, while the rest of us were just stuffing our faces with potato chips and talking about art.

My inspiration for this way of pencil sketching is "Pencil Broadsides" by <a href="http://www.alibris.com/search/books/author/Kautzky,%20Ted" rel="nofollow">Ted Kautzky</a><br />. As you probably know, he was the master of the broadstroke technique, which was used not only for landscape sketching, but also for quickly suggesting images and lettering in advertising comps.James Gurneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01870848001990898499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-13370230679362800152009-06-27T09:05:29.961-04:002009-06-27T09:05:29.961-04:00This is such a beautiful sketch.

I always have a hard time sketching complex scenes in graphite using tone because I have a hard time laying down flat values quickly enough and making the right judgments when it comes to adding line for detail. I guess I'll practice more with the chisel tip.Victorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16334033221403464054noreply@blogger.com
