Roughed in a few more bison today. This photo shows the messy process. I let the drawing panel with the texture have it's way for the most part.
Once the finger smudging is over I use vine charcoal to add some detail. This is the point where it's easy to over work the piece and lose the spontaneity I'm attempting to maintain. Next step is to pick out highlights with a kneaded erasure.

Great photos Dean. Good to see you getting dirty again.
Thanks Pete, I have a tendancy of disappearing from the blogosphere now and then, that's why I labeled this post a 'surge'. Three bison in one day is a lot for me. That was in a span of about two hours, then I had to move onto other requirements. If I could string together a few days there's no telling what I could get done!
Great to see you back dean, I would love to have a go at painting/drawing like this, lt takes finger painting to a whole new level...
