With white pencil I close my eyes for longer period of time and then open them - and first thing that catch my eye on the image - this part I will make the brightest and most detailed.
That's so interesting. I've never approached it that way. I like that.
I can't see any evidence of lack of patience in your drawings. I find the opposite is conveyed. Impressive. Self-discipline. I really appreciate you describing how you feel and experience this. It's given me a different angle to see from. That always fascinates me.
White on the black nearly glow if black is deep enough :)
That's interesting. I'm thinking I'll play around in a spare moment or two. You're right about the red and black on white, am thinking how much that's used in marketing. High contrast has always been a fav.
That's the trick! I am really working on it. But cannot sit and draw for like straight hour or so :D
My pleasure, always ask away!
You're doing really well then. I don't recall the last time I sat for an hour solid to draw, but then, I don't draw much now.
To be fair, I had very long break. Apart from some fast sketches as a accompany to my journal, and few picture every now and then I haven't done much in like decade. I am glad that manual skills are still there, although I am mad at myself to let it go for all those years.
Sometimes breaks are necessary. Sometimes other things in life require breaks. It will all come back with practice.
Not easy things to find out how much time spend on this or that. Overdoing my drawings is my big problem, sometimes I really don't know where to stop.
Brakes help though, yes.
Just go outside for a while and get back to see stuff from new perspective:)
