Less pressure, smaller areas at one time? I don’t know what or how to modify to get a different result. Thanks so much for your help.

As a total newbie here, I have to say it feels very welcoming for the really advanced artists to be patient and interested in everyone’s ability level. Such a wonderful feeling to be accepted and not like an outsider. Thank you Wendy for creating such a place to learn from the best of the best!

I think it’s interesting to see how the left pedal respects the border-line and how the right pedals cross over the border. Interesting tension.

The first attempt read really dark and heavy. I had a little more success with the inner part, but am missing something, The angle of the photo is a little different than the one I was drawing.

I have to remember to not always draw what I see as it doesn’t get translated well.

I am trying to make the inner part show a stick within a stick and don’t quite know how to do that. There are some really interesting deep and dark holes that look like they were burnt into the wood. Any thoughts?

My eye was telling me that the more shadow I added, the less white it appears. Since I do not see a shadow on the stick, I feel like I am losing the essence of the white. I will go back and rework this as you suggested. I so appreciate your help!
