Nude Male #1
I was chatting with artist Laurel Gordon and she asked me to show her the first step of what I was working on. So I sent her a picture.
She said to me, " It even looks good as it is".
She got me thinking and I took a good look at it and said, "You know...you´re right !! "
So here´s the finished-unfinished version of the nude male torso...

This is one of the fun and definite beauties of art...breaking the rules !!!
Note: You cannot use varnish on a graphite or charcoal drawing.
Adding a a charcoal/graphite fixative can alter the appearance.
There are pros and cons. Do some research before making the decision.
I chose to spray with a fixative. Be sure to hold the can about a foot away from the sketch. Sway your arm back and forth as you spray over the surface. Don´t saturate the surface.
I like to sketch on paper before I transfer the drawing to the canvas. The reason is that this way I don´t smudge the canvas with the eraser each time I make a correction.
It has a secondary advantage as well. I can make as many versions of the same sketch as I want without having to start again from the beginning.
So, this is one time when I will make two versions of the same subject. The finished-unfinished version above and the one I'm still working on and which will be my next demo.
