Figure Drawing Practice 012

         Thia was my assignment for last week. I've learned that the key  to achieving a realistic or naturalistic look isn't the details, but a good shape design.  So even with a limited value range, and a simplified shapes, rendering this wasn't as daunting as I used to think it would be.  My instructor said, as long as there's a clear separation of the lights from the darks, and focus on drawing the head well,  the whole figure would still work well.  He said this works. Yey!
