STAGE 6
Finishing I recommend always drawing with a kneaded eraser in your opposite hand so you can continually clean up mistakes as you go along. Moreover, you’ve now had five stages to achieve accuracy of outlines and proportions. Between the erasing and constant checking, the drawing should be extremely accurate.
Now you need to concern yourself only with adding correct tone (value). This consists of adding darks and halftones. The darks must be gradually blended into the halftones by repeatedly caressing the side of the 9B into the “bed” of tone (A). Darks must be shaded up to any lines either on the outline or on the edges of the cast shadows (B). Lines must be hunted down and eliminated like vermin. They are the enemy of realism and must suffer accordingly. Eliminate them by shading up to them. Caress halftones from the outlines or the core shadows all the way up to the highlights (C). Feckless students shade over the highlights, hoping to erase them out, but this will result in flatness. By stopping at the highlight, a clear plane change emerges. Later you can, and should, rub over and erase them out, but first you must establish a clear division between the highlight plane and the halftone plane to avoid the charge of vagueness, which is so common in our drawing and in our times!
