Wow Cerih, you are just getting better and better and better with these.. are these white pencil/chalk on black paper?! or are you doing scratch boards?

Thanks! I've done some really awesome stuff in A3, but have to wait until Monday to scan them in at work, since my scanner at home can only do A4.

These are done on Daler-Rowney's Canford black paper, which is smoother than the one I usually use, but a little thin to my liking. I use Faber-Castel coor or warm grey I water colour pencil for these, rather than white pencil. I've tried to steer away from using white in my drawings, other than the occasional highlight, since very few things in nature are truly white.

Ah! Sounds good! I've played with high contrast drawing in the past and tend to use white on black when I do that sort of thing anymore. Though I've also taken white paper, and uses some black conte sticks and scrubbed the paper with them, then used a wide water color brush to brush teh black into the paper, it makes for an interesting background to do that kind of drawing on.

Cool though, your art is looking very good!

I like using black paper so much because the paper does half the work for me. I guess when it comes down to it, I'm just lazy. I keep meaning to do more stuff with water colours and white paper, but here I am, once again, with a pad of black paper in front of me. ^_^

Well, it works, and works very well in your hands. :)

As long as I'm pushing myself somehow, I guess.

you're getting really good at this C...

V.

Thanks! ^_^

I'd love to see what you can do with scratchboard, myself :3

I'm kinda intrigued by them, but have never tried using one. Perhaps one day soon.
