Chiaroscuro Homework #01, part 2



Added backdrop and scattered light detailing on the apple and tried to even out the tones to hide my charcoal lines. I also worked really hard to try and clean things up and fill up the "white dots" from the paper texture that Brendon didn't like in my greyscale chart. Charcoal smudges sooooo easily. Making one wrong mark, one accidental swipe with my sleeve cuff or pressing down on the charcoal just a *tiny* bit too hard could be aggravatingly difficult to recover from. I have a hard time just not making a general mess of things.

I've been having a noticeably hard time keeping the mortar and pestle symmetrical, so I reversed the photo to see how far off I really was. I was horrified to find out the severity of my symmetry and perspective derp... I'll make one last attempt Tuesday night after work to correct it the best I can.
