Using a graphite stick and a paper towel, I attempted to create a toned surface to begin my drawing. It works well in my charcoal drawings, so I thought it must work well here - and it did! I took too much time in the beginning, so I wasn't able to finish (especially the dark, blank spots where the eyes will go). I think this is a great start.
Trying out a challenge to myself - to create "finished" pieces with a limited color palette on a consistent schedule. I am still working out the final guidelines. I think I would like to challenge myself to use a new texture in each piece as well. I've had this unfinished sketch in my sketchbook forever. Even though I'm not entirely happy with it - it feels great to finally have it done!
