Sumi Ink Day 3, Working On Shadows

Day 3: I started to go into more detail today. I continued to work focus on the darkest areas first and then work up in tone value from there. I also put a lot of time into the right side of the face to emphasize the shadow being casted. Just like my last charcoal drawing I am still trying to figure out how to get that cloth like feel on the shirt. It is hard because I am still used to making hard edges, especially in paintings, and I've realized that you need to have more of curving lines and free flowing lines instead. I am happy with the way the for arm came out but I am going to go back to that and add finer details and touch ups. I also learned that if you make a mistake you can use a wet sponge and a paper towel too add water and dry it to remove some ink. It doesn't remove the ink completely and can ruin the paper but works well for touchups.
