I See The Light Drawing


The Road of No Return

I used lights and darks to show the winding road leading to an unknown destination. I used it to show the mountains and the various crevices within it. I had a very difficult time deciding what to draw but after messing around with a few ideas, I let go and just started drawing and it ended up the way it is... somehow. I used the light pencils to draw in the light parts of the mountains and the darker pencils to shade in the darker parts of the mountain. I used the erasers when I wanted to show something as completely white with no smudges around it. I discovered that I needed to use a lot of contrast between light and dark to show what I was trying to express and that for a really dark color, you really need to press down on the paper hard.
