1st Assignment, and ONLY assignment for my Pre-AP art class that I got done, after transferring in so late. I gotta get the other.. 7 (I think?) done by this friday.
... So fun. XD
This is one of my BEST ever pictures of anything I've drawn, IMO.
It took me 7 1/2 - 8 hours total, one in a session of 5 hours straight at a friends house, and 2 hours at my house, plus about 30 minutes to an hour of additional work with the teachers suggestions.
Even before the suggestions (darker and lighter values, modify the picture for a set theme, or to add drama (LOL Drama, in art is good. furry drama seems to be bad.)), I got a 100.
Aced my first assignment, killed myself on the econd and had to redo it, never finished the rest.
Gee, for a Pre-AP Art student who got in on skills alone, you'd think I'd be better than this.
*Sigh* That's the price of being an art president, personal artist who is also taking commissions, who has an art block, who takes 3 other art classes, sacrificing one lunch period. :P
I still fucking love this picture.

Let me tell you what I do to prevent something like this: when I do graphite artwork on large projects, if there's an area that needs to be real dark, I do it in "layers", so to speak. I do consistent diagonal strokes to make it gray, then I rotate the paper and do more consistent diagonal strokes at a different angle to make it even darker gray. Then I rotate the paper again and do more consistent diagonal strokes at a different angle - rinse and repeat. Doing it slowly-but-surely will prevent pressing too hard on the paper and displacing the fibers into rippling up.
It's basically just doing a bunch of light crosshatching until it's black.
