Artist's Comments

Graphite on HP watercolor paper.

I'm afraid I'm out of practice with graphite...plus, I prefer a smoother surface, like cartridge paper, but I wanted to try something different. I wasn't able to get the background completely smooth, and the face still isn't quite right, but, oh well, it's just for fun.

I think the rough background is suitable for the spontaneous down on the ground world of the young child. And I think the rendering of the face and hair well done. It's a good drawing, full of feeling and atmosphere, even if it's not exactly what you usually do.

Thanks! I've been doing cp for so long that I've forgotten how to do graphite well...grrrr! But it's kind of like riding a bike...if you haven't ridden in a while, you're wobbly at first, but it doesn't take long to get back where you were.

I found that when I returned to graphite that I got back into the feel of it pretty fast, too.

Just because it is impossible now - doesn't mean it always will be.

This is really nice...and a word of advice - don't worry too much about getting a background smooth - if the paper won't let you, take advantage of it and see what kind of cool effects you can get. A background doesn't always have to be smooth to look out of focus. I like the way your background looks in this - it adds a lot of interest.
