Blame Crossfit

Not a very long drawing tonight, I blame Crossfit.

The subject

The lights in this photo are terrible, they are completely blown out.

The Drawing

This is my start, this took about 5 minutes. You can see how very loose it is.

After 30 minutes I have begun improving the drawings accuracy and establishing a bit of the half tones along with the lights and darks.

At the very end I used a large brush to fade out the whole drawing. When I work on it again I will have an accurate base to work with but it won’t have any hard edges so it will be easy to work into.
