Hats off to you for making dark situations lighter! Today’s subject is one of my favorite hats, and the challenge will be to draw in “reverse”, with white chalk on black paper. This should prove to be a good lesson on value. Grab your own hat, or follow along using this reference image: https://bit.ly/33NiwSS

Today, I’m working with:

Black drawing paper
White Chalk Pencil
Charcoal Pencil
Kneaded and Rubber Erasers

Here’s my hat on gray paper with white charcoal and gray pastels. I didn’t have any black paper. Came out fairly ok.

I think mine wanted to be a cowboy hat.
