Nude Figure on Black Paper

 With this week's task. I get a chance to experiment with ‘positive and negative space’ but use white pencil/chalk to create a drawing.

Process

The process is nothing much as it is mostly rendering after rendering. I first start with a sketch and I slowly build up from what I have

During this process, I was told that my leg position was drawn wrong but because the black paper is a square, I do not have more space to draw out.

I fixed this problem by connecting two papers together. I use photoshop to erase out the gap the two paper created.

I then try to finalized the picture before the tie is up to draw.

Final Piece

The result is not what I am proud of and I have come to learn how hard it is to control chalk as I draw. With one mistake while blending, it can be caused my area that needed to be a hard edge to smudge and I have to retouch again. Because the surface of the chalk is big, I can not make smaller details with this piece. In the future, I would use a bigger canvas and draw the figure even bigger to have room for details with a large surface chalk tip.
