This is yet another I did last week. I wanted to portray the feeling of dispair,and the hardship faced by so many of our nations poor. I used a tecnique I had never tried before with this one. I wanted a dingy look without a lot of detail, I aldo wanted the black to be as dark as possible. What I used for this was Derwent-Sketching pencils, HB,2B,&6B. I then went over the the pencil with a water brush. This alowed me to get a dirty look to the drawing, and reduce some of the detail. Being that it was the first time Itried this I didnt get where I wanted it but I enjoyed doing it and will definately try this again. I would love to hear back from someone who has used this method before, and humbly ask for some tips and advise Thanks Rick

such depth of dispair and pain you have shown here, richard...it moansTom and Susan Repasky 05 Feb 2007
Richard, you have accomplished what you set out to do! I am not sure about the genre, but the sense of abandonment is really quite evident! So many fall through the cracks, are not noticed, left unattended, barely there as being recognized as beings! You have achieved in this piece all of that, and who of us will be there to catch those falling?!? Wonderful presentation, and I hope someone pays attention!! ~SChristine brand 05 Feb 2007
excellent work, more should be done like this to awaken the world to the distress they ignore every day that perhaps is right next door or in their own homes. thank you for this work.Penny Myers 05 Feb 2007

This truely broke my heart... I have never used this method of drawing/painting but I think it gets right to the point, and draws you deep into the feeling of this piece. I wouldnt change a thing!Leah Jaarveth 05 Feb 2007

Very nice, you are very skilled with pencil... as for the tecnique, since you washed it, why not using watersoluble graphite, like Graphitone? Just curious, your artwork looks excellent as it is :)Atamjeet Singh Bawa 05 Feb 2007
