MIFF Sculpture drawings

These are drawings I did for the Mississippi International Film Festival as a proposal for this years trophy. The last one is the one that was chosen. These sketches were done on Strathmore 100lbs. smooth bristol board. I used 2B and 5B pencils along with a tortillon stump. I'll have to say that a smooth surface is my favorite surface to draw on. Everybody has their favorites and it's really highly personal, but for me, I really like the way the graphite sits on the surface and can be so easily spread around and erased. I also like the fact that it takes ink so well and I can combine both ink and graphite together in the same drawing.
