For my day 2
drawing I decided to try a quaking aspen and do it in a positive drawing as
opposed to the negative drawings I have been doing. I have to say drawing with
powder gets to be a little nerve racking as you get further into the drawing.
The fear of making a mark somewhere you don’t want or getting so involved in
one area of the drawing you do not realize that you are smearing another area
with your hand. I have a bridge I use to keep my hand off the drawing but day 2
was to draw a tree or two and only use your fingers and a business card. I felt
that I needed to be closer to the work to control my marks. I used my fingers
in applying some of the powder and in the foreground. I am used to tools so I
relied on the business card to make my marks. One of my challenges was to use
my left hand, I am very right dominate, so I was surprised that I could do
anything with my left. I am happy with
some of the soft lines I achieved and hope to work on that more.
So, here it
is my day 2 drawing.

Nice. I had a really hard time drawing straight lines. You have done an excellent job doing so. What is your secret? :)
I used the edge of the card to make the straight lines. Kinda like Kelly did in her video.
