White Charcoal on Black Paper
Drawing and Painting
Now that you have worked with a dark value on a light background, lets try the reverse. We will be focusing on how to show core shadows and cast shadows by leaving the paper free of charcoal. This is an extremely difficult exercise because you will want to start with a contour drawing, BUT DONT!
If you do then you may be placing a light value where a dark one should be. It is tricky! Check out this you-tube video showing the process of drawing a cat using only a white charcoal pencil.
