When less is more

Posted on September 5, 2010 by Guthlac

Another lesson learnt. I was looking through a book on sketching this morning and picked up another tip or is that technique? I don’t think it matters. Anyway, the tip was that an eraser is more than remover of errors. When used correctly it can b… Continue reading →
