The weekend is finally here! I get to go home and draw with my own children- me and my beloved Prismacolor pencils. Just as I discovered that Aqua Net hairspray was a great 99 cent alternative to the $9.99 pastel/charcoal fixative I needed in art school, I have discovered that cheap acetone (the kind used for nail polish remover) works just as well as any commercially available solvent used to blend Prisma pencils. The drawing of pearls in the earlier entry was done with Prismas and acetone, as were these older drawings of hard candies (the top one is a bit damaged): The secret here is to use the complement of each color, not black, for the shadows and lowlights, and to mask out the highlights before putting down anything else. Here's to a productive (and warm!) weekend for all of my readers. :)
