These are some examples of working finished-to-unfinished from past Drawing 1 students taught by a friend of mine at Oklahoma Christian University. She calls this assignment "Giacometti Drawings" and in each case, the students began with a nice, clean, finished drawing of a skull and then worked on top of it with more gestural, less controlled line-work. Now, you have the option of adding LIMITED value--using it as a means to give you more of a push-and-pull of space--but you'll notice that in these drawings, value is nearly non-existent. Yet, for the most part, these drawings work. Therefore, if I see that we continue to overly lean on that nice crutch of "value" in our drawings, I will either take it out of your arsenal, or I'll give you a specific number of times you can use it within each drawing.
