Question

Look at the two drawings above. Describe the techniques used by each artist in each drawing.

Answer 1

Picture 1: The artist has used broad, striking strokes to create the hair, ensuring lost of dark values. To create the softness, shading, and flow of the face, the artist has used softer lines and incorporated blending techniques.

Picture 2: The artist used light pressure to create subtle forms, while still using a degree of shading and shadowing. This artist however chose to make the values of the entire piece much lighter.

Answer 2

I’m bot completely sure, but since there is minimal shadowing, I would say the technique is contouring
