I'm trying out making short videos to give a taste of the evolution of a drawing. It is a learning curve for sure! For those interested, this duck is named Leo.

This drawing is going to the birds, lol! Ducks, specifically. 🦆 We have a very small flock of Swedish Blues, and these two are the nicest of the group. I thought they would make for a beautiful drawing.

Drawing water goes against my instinct to blend dark and light values smoothly. It is much more about hard edges and distinct blocks of tone.

Tools of the trade - my favorite tools are a variety of erasers and make-up brushes/sponges. I also apply (or remove) charcoal with blending stumps, tortillons, paint brushes, paper towels, tissues, chamois towels, frisket paper, and a host of other things here and there to make the exact texture I'm looking for. Finding the right technique and tool combination is part of the fun and creative process.
