Dolphin
Posted by Jocelyn Sylvester on Tuesday, June 19, 2012
I'm getting really fed up with this website, it refuses to let me post pictures right-side up!! So I guess you'll have to deal with it, I've tried everything and it won't budge. So I'm sorry about that.
The mediums used on this are a black carbon sketch pencil for the dolphin and soft pastels for the sky, sun, and water. The camera on my iPhone is awful so the shading on the dolphin did not show up very well so my dolphin looks white. I could make the shading darker and take another picture but then the drawing itself wouldn't look very good in person. I've also been told to blend the reflection of the sun into the darker water a little better. This is my first try at doing something like this and it was my first time ever using soft pastel, I think it went well. The blending I will work on but as for the shading.... I'm gonna leave that because, like I mentioned earlier, in person it looks fine.
