Amazing! What paper did you use? Was it a Medium for 1.4 BiC? This is such a fun challenge!

My image was so ugly. I deleted it. Now it tells everybody I deleted it. Lol!

So did you do this in Procreate, Judy? The addition of the highlights make them shine!

No, not Procreate (which is why my brain broke :joy:) —it’s fine & medium Bics with some white pastel pencil on Strathmore toned gray paper :grimacing:

Thx! I used fine & medium Bics with some white pastel pencil for highlights—on toned gray paper :grin:

I’m sure it wasn’t ugly! We’re always our own worst critics—I know I am! :blush:

Lesson 2. Did this one in Procreate (6B pencil brush) which was lots of fun! I need to learn how to chill out about drawing with pen & paper and stop letting it stress me so badly.

This is the second version. Still not a good drawing, but I learned a lot. Got lost in a lot of wrinkles and made it up. Lol!

I almost never work on toned background and you continue to pull it off over and over – and this one is no exception!

Great pants, Becky! And even if you got lost in the folds, I find them to be pretty forgiving as long as you keep the light realistic, which you did. Bravo!

I think this is awesome, Becky! And I’m assuming you used the 1.6mm Bic Cristal? That’s impressive!

Thank you so much, France!

Thank you, Judy! I used the 1.6 (for the darks, nearly going through the paper at times, oops) plus the medium point, on Moleskine.

Here’s lesson number 3! Purple bag, purrrple bag. :purple_heart: I like parts of it, other parts, not so much. I was cruising right along when my Bic 4-color unalived, but I grabbed a Papermate Profile, which is essentially identical, & kept on going. Oh, and I had forgotten how much I love drawing on Moleskine paper!
