Art_Drawing_Pencil - sketch "Marla's Acupuncture Points" - by Debra Ford
It was drawn into a sketchbook in 2000. As part of personal exercises for the effects of shadows shadings and fine line details using the "H Series" pencils, these drawings were done as "practice sketches" for personal growth as an artist. This was a hard lead sketch using leads varying from 2H to 9H ( 7h in this case) and the "F" pencil. The lower numbers produce a thicker and darker line. The higher numbers in the "H" series produce a lighter line and very fine lines may be produced when properly sharpened.
This subject was chosen because the photograph in the magazine article had nice shadow elements making it easier to do a pencil drawing. It is a general policy of the artist "not to draw real people." So people were done as sketches in personal books rather than as individual pieces of art.
The drawing was done partially in New Orleans and partially in Houston while traveling in the year 2000
This is a shot to show greater detail. Remember these are all degraded images due to the series of capture methods used. The original scan was made at 600x600 dots per inch in 2000 of an area 11"x14" (17) and then printed to an 8.5"x11" page. All images on this page are from recent rescans of the printed images at 300X300 or 256x256 . The lower is from an enlarged area of the "re-scan" done in 2006 (from the private art & print collection of RLP)all screen shots were on this page were imported into mspaint for basic editing and annotation.
This is a "screen shot" of the greyscale scan to more closely mimic the original pencil shadings. The reflective nature of the gel ink affected the entire image during capture/ scanning. The pink hues in the color image is a combination of this effect and printer inks cartridges being low on ink ( as was the case during the original print session in 2006)
The stripe is what happens when you spent way less than you should have for your replacement scanner.
