This was intended to be a line exercise only, which was mostly accomplished. However, my lines to begin with were very trademark- light, breathy, and lots of them. I needed to fix up the neglected areas like the bottom of the shirt and those accursed shoes. The figure seemed to match up proportion wise, so I didn't really have much work besides making my lines darker and bolder and increasing the contrast. I added a few different layers of value- line only, however, and added depth to the hair. The Converse gods finally decided to smile on me and I finished a passable pair- better than the sketchy stubs in the first picture. Overall, I am pleased by the changes I made because they matured the drawing.
