Now that we've built up to the dark tones I'm going to go really dark on this area right
here. I'm going to get really dark underneath here and some areas there. And even the shadow
of the seal I'm going to get super dark on. And you'll see how it gives this thing a lot
better depth. I'm going to go in and touch up a couple areas I hadn't finished yet. I'm
going to kind of pull in the eye here because it's carved out. The whiskers. I'm really going to start to press on the
pencil.
And you'll notice that like I was saying, it's drawing on sandpaper, you can see white
in between there. So, that's still not the darkest I can get this. But if I keep pressing
I can start to fill this in to where it's the darkest tone on the paper. And it really
adds depth and it gives you the sense of where the shadows are and things like that. So you'll
notice that once I do the hardest pressure I can do you can get that thing super dark.
Once you go through the certain areas of the still life that's what you'll do. You'll build
it up and then in your super dark areas that's how dark you can go with this paper. It's
awesome.
