I'm not sure anyone else can answer it. What the rest of us see is a well drawn rhino, especially since we're seeing it online.

The rhino is a real wow, John, I could never draw something like that. At the end of the day, you take the risks, pour yourself into your art and if blending is part of a process that produces such a brilliant drawing then it's all worth it and its working Gatepost productionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18061920423331681586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-1930944839446760712018-05-31T19:29:39.889+01:002018-05-31T19:29:39.889+01:00Qué amable de tu parte dejar un comentario Antonia...Qué amable de tu parte dejar un comentario Antonia.

If 'they' don't approve of your methods given how good your work is then 'they' don't know what they're talking about. ;-)John (JWJarts)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17802012611212667028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-77283630276087544342018-05-30T12:31:53.706+01:002018-05-30T12:31:53.706+01:00Me encanta la técnica del grafito.

So I have no answer for you. When it works, it works. :)Judyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14715473069364081174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5051629921855027241.post-76718460774429682722018-05-29T21:48:24.936+01:002018-05-29T21:48:24.936+01:00First of all, this drawing is amazing,...how you g...First of all, this drawing is amazing,...how you get there... To me it doesn't matter...just as long as the end result is a success which I think yours is!!!! However, I attend many workshops during the week and most of them don't approve of my blending...which I can understand but this is how I paint...just like they don't approve of my taking a photo of the subject...they would rather see me draw from life. My only answer is..."if I can see clearly I wouldn't use my camera but I LOVE details so there you go!!!! Lol. I love the folds in the fur of this animal....GREAT work, John. <br />hmuxohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05132343095188658107noreply@blogger.com
