I created this page to accompany a radio interview on Lois Richter’s “That’s Life<\/a>” show on KDRT 95.7 in Davis, CA. Listen to the interview<\/a>, recorded 9\/13\/2018.<\/p>\n

We discussed this drawing of Lucy, and two other drawings. The other drawings are at the bottom of the page, along with links to sites I mentioned in the interview.<\/p>\n

While this drawing was in progress, I scanned a few stages. This is Lucy, a friend’s goose.<\/p>\n

Read more about the drawing here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"

My photo of Lucy. I use both color and greyscale versions of photos for reference. The contrast and brightness on the greyscale version are adjusted to provide more white areas. I work primarily from the greyscale version until it’s time to add color to the work, although it’s handy to have the color version as I go along. It helps me to understand what I’m seeing – feathers vs. skin, pattern\/texture vs. shadow, etc.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Scratching started. There’s nice backlighting in the reference, here I’ve scratched some of the highlights.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

More scratching. Most of the part that’s still dark is in shadow, but there’s plenty left to scratch in that area to build texture and depth.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

Scratching completed. Ready for the addition of color.<\/p><\/div>\n

\"\"

The completed drawing. I used Derwent Inktense pencils for the color. I draw with them on a palette, mix with water, and paint that on. I can scratch after addition of color to bring up additional highlights.<\/p><\/div>\n

Visit this page<\/a> for a “zoomable” image of the finished drawing.
