Artist Daily Presents Drawing the Eye with David Jon Kassan

[lDhalisml]

Me likey! This method is interesting, it reminds me of the subtractive method on white paper, where you do a strong line drawing with charcoal and then you use a piece of paper to smear the lines and tone the paper slightly, going back to darken the lines you need to darken, rinse and repeat until you build a good middle tone and then subtract the light mass. I find it interesting because in art school they tell us never to mix the charcoal with the white pencil.

[vicenteragalch]

Oh my... This is so relaxing and inspiring. I could spend a whole day watching you drawing.

[davidgolasfineart]

I dunno if he's still using it...and I probably should just let him speak for himself... but for awhile he was using a Canson Canford paper almost like a cardstock in a color called dreadnought grey.

[alexcostacurta]

What kind of paper do you use??... strathmore 400 gray or 500???

[littleoinck]

yeah that's really cool!!

[Psypomp]

Awesome! Is that a palette knife wrapped in chamois?
