Today I continued the detail work, finishing the piece. I decided the tie was too close to the same color and tone as the chair, so I darkened it more, which also brings out the little cherry a bit more. To complete the tie, I used colored pencils to add a fine diagonal pinstripe along it, helping form its contours, as well as give it a little style. I fine-tuned the face, detailed the hand, and finished the black areas, adding gray for some of the light mid-tones, white for highlights, and more black for deeper shadows. The final touch was filling in the degree on the wall, using colored pencils.
It’s now complete, scanned and ready to view here.
Good Therapy
