This is a oil pastel image. As you can see, there was a picture that I cut in half and finish with oil pastel. I found that the most difficult part of the project was the shading of the eye. At first I messed up on the size of the eyeball, but now it just looks muddy.

My Subtractive and Additive Drawings!!

Here is my subtractive drawing:

This drawing was very difficult because I had to erase the parts of the drawing that had the least amount of light.


Here is my additive drawing:

This drawing was easier, but I am naturally a terrible drawer, so that didn't help!!

If I had to choose one or the other, I would probably choose the additive drawing because it gives you a better command of the image.
Subtractive is a very different way of drawing and it tends to do better with shading. Both ways are good, and both ways offer pros and cons.
