Duncan on black paper phase 1

This is the same image of Duncan done on Rives BFK
paper that I covered with India Ink and a brush. The shadows are still too dark...the contrast in values is too great.

But, this one looks more like my dog than the other, so I am partial to it.

This one has 3 layers: pan pastels and then sticks. There is no white or black used, which is alittle hard to see on this photo.
