why didnt you draw it on black paper with white ink ?

also if you make a mistake ink is alot harder to "get rid of" compared to charcol

I love that this is a drawing by an eraser essentially. Great technique. Have you heard of an oil-wipeout? It's the same thing, only with oil paints.
Great job on this piece!!

Thanks so much! 
This technique was fun to try, I'd never done it before this art class. And no, I've never heard of oil wipeout, but I'll certainly look into it! I haven't had much opportunity to use oils so, far, all my classes have been with acrylics, but I have the opportunity to take an advanced oil painting class next year, so we'll see.

wow thats a really good way to go about it... its actually better to put it all black at first :3... much easier to draw white from it afterward. Very nice piece, wish i had the patience to do pics from observation like this again

You've done extremely well on this one. Love how it disappears into the dark

Sweet use of light and dark.
Now, don't take this the wrong way, but I'm curious . . . did you draw this from a photograph (because film does a good job getting this kind of contrast . . . and because it seems like it would be hard to draw with it so dark out . . . . )

Thanks! And yeah, it's from a photo. It was waaaay too cold to draw outside.
