A bum study in black and white.

Back to the col-erase.

This image started with the easy grid method.

The head and face were the most complex part of this image and didn't look so good after the line stage, so I started working there to address any problems early, but I was surprised that it came together well.

I then worked back from the darker tones of the head and neck to the lighter tones along the shoulder and arm.

The tones round the hand helped to give shape and focus to the centre of the image.

To finish this image I worked on the turning planes of the legs and balanced the tones across the image.
