Sheona Hamilton-Grant



INGREDIENTS
1 sheet of Mellotex paper, whole
3 clutch pencils, filled (6B, 2B &2H)
1/2 piece of Blu-Tack
1 gorgeous subject (1.1 tones/2425 lb)
12 finely detailed digital photographs
XL Foam board
1 “White Lies” cd
2 Marillion cds
Collectors Edition Pink Floyd
11/2l of drinking water (daily)
2 nespresso coffees (daily)
Preheated studio to 19 ºC = 66.2 ºF.
65 hours of drawing time.
Freshly ground passion.

DIRECTIONS
In a warm studio, over angled drawing board, outline subject and study eyes, movement and light. Add a pinch of passion and bring inner vision to a simmer.
Place paper on foam board. Tape corners with artist tape. Secure and set aside.
Turn on music.
Review sketch and bring to parchment. Begin eyes to get a perfect expression.
On a clear drawing board, under good light, add more work to overall subject. Pin down the darks and gradually stir in the lighter values. Allow the lighter grays melt into the drawing, and then add detail to the mix. Work gently for approximately 65 hours until the values are completely coated with details.
Finish with a pinch of zeal and a crack of freshly ground passion.
Serve immediately.
