Hi I did this the other day and thought it might be helpful to some, cheers.

David

nicely done and a great demo...
what paper did you use?
my favorite is canson bristol plate finish....one can achieve incredible values without the problem of dealing with the texture of the paper..

I used the Utrecht plate bristol. I'm trying to get a roll of the stuff so I can try my hand at doing some life size full figure drawings. A fun challenge I'd love to try. Thanks for the kind words.

David

morning david....
i dont know if this would help at all its not utrecht but canson....and it doesnt specify if this would be plate finish...but i did find canson now offered in a roll?

Thanks for the tip on the rolls, I'm not sure if I have tried Canson's bristol, I know I hate strathmores for the way I work. I'll buy a pad this weekend and give it a shot, there is a Dick Blick store near me here that I can check out to see if they have more info on the canson roll. Thanks again.

that's one incredible demo i've seen in pencil since ages! thanks for sharing

DAVID, YOUR DRAWING OF THE FOOT IS REALLY WELL DONE. I ALSO WENT TO YOUR WEB SITE AND VIEWED YOUR BEAUTIFULLY POSED AND EXECUTED OIL PAINTINGS - WOW! VERY IMPRESSIVE.

This is SUCH a nice demo David!! (and it looked great in Drawing Magazine this month too!

Wow, this is a great demo, i cant wait to try it. I'm kinda mad cus I left ny in jan, I just discovered your art last night, I cant believe you give free lessons. I'm learning right now, this is my first good drawing, I liked it so much I left it unfinished,http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/ll49/ingres23/sketches.jpg?t=1212510749.
