That feeling when Moonlight Sonata plays at a moment when it describes your mood perfectly. I needed that, not that it was intended by you. Your sketches are lovely and I honestly hope to see more of them as time goes on. Trying to draw a statue is an exercise I would honestly recommend to anyone, especially those struggling with value. It forces you to look at simply light and shadow to create the face instead of known landmarks, like you described such as lips being darker or scleras being lighter than the skintone. It helps us learn to see a little better and gives perspective on shadow shapes in my opinion. I'm no expert of course, these are just my thoughts.

I'm so happy you mention the Moonlight Sonata! The moment I decided on drawing a moon goddess focused sketchbook spread, I knew I wanted that piece to accompany the video. :) Statues are really wonderful - though of course this exercise would be even better with real statues in front of me! I need to find a museum nearby that has a statue collection soon... And yes, the lips or sclera are the perfect examples of how we can rely on colors and ignore lighting, so this felt like a very mindful exercise. Thank you again for watching and the thoughtful comment!

The more I hatch, the more”dirtier” my sketch looks. Is it my paper?

[@evydraws-art]

It might be the sharpness of the pencil - especially soft pencils need to be very sharp to not get "messy". But yes, different papers also make a difference. 😊
