Drawing That Shows How I Work

Here is a close up of The Three Graces drawing. What I like about this is that it shows better the areas where I have laid over or changed out parts.

Some parts required multiple edits. My wife, who is also an artist, helped me at times with what we called "copy editing". She would make suggestions on areas of masking tape. If I thought it would work, I would use it. The beauty of the system is the ease with which changes can be made.

Sometimes, when you are composing an image, the problem is not drawing something more "correctly" but working on the composition and how the parts relate to each other so the parts work together as a whole.
