At the recent NESCBWI conference, I took a graphite and chalk class taught by the amazing Marty Kelly. I’ve been playing with drawing portraits with the media. Yesterday I did my first sketching with the tools. I have to say, I like the process of bouncing between shadow and highlights. It makes a lot of sense to my right brain.
Anyways…I was glad to meet Lilly yesterday. I hope you like her.
