"Lilly" is my most recent drawing in graphite using a range of pencils from the very hardest to the soft and darkest. I spent a bit longer on this drawing than the others I have recently posted just to push my skills and gain a little more refinement to the drawing. As all artists know one has to determine when you reach a point of "diminishing returns" on a drawing or painting that probably will never be up for sale or possibly even shown outside of my blog. These graphite drawings are for the purpose of increasing my skills and will some day be dug out of a box in my basement long after I'm gone.
The drawing is done in a 16" x 16" size on Bristol #300 pound weight in graphite pencil. One thing I've noticed is how difficult it is to get a really good photo of a drawing (still working on that) that really shows the white of the paper and the depth of the values....most interesting.
