Yesterday I enthusiasticly searched for a dozen picture of people to draw. A picture of a boy in a swimming trunk in a shower of some swimmingpool didn’t look to difficult so I started with that one.
But me being me I can’t just start with the big picture. I have to start with some detail and…
I’m not sure what will happen next. I thought that I might draw a lot of pictures of details and then work my way up to the big picture.
But it seems that I’m going to zoom out.
Layering of colors gives a very nice result but it is a very strange way of drawing.
Yesterday I started with a yellowish brown as back color. But that turned out to be to dark. Which means that the darker parts of the face get to dark.
This time I started with a yellow. But as you can see this yellow is to sharp. It hurts your eyes.

I’ve started a new drawing with a less brightyellow.
At first I thought that layering would mean that I’ld have to draw the picture dozens of times with different colors. A bit like what you would expect of silk-screen print. But that is hardly possible. That would mean drawing the nose in yellow next to the cheeks in yellow above the mouth in yellow.
How would I see the difference? If I can’t see where the nose ends and the cheeks begin how would I draw the next layer? So I decide to lay a foundation of yellow and draw the next layers.
