CP Surfaces: Drafting Film

Very good. Well done and easy to follow

While it was great learning all about drawing on drafting film, the second day of the class was frustrating because I couldn't see what Gretchen was doing. She had the zoom view showing everyone rather than on her drawing. Ironically, Zoom doesn't allow you to "zoom" in on anything. I realize that we are all struggling with having to deal with technology during a difficult time, but it really detracted from what she was teaching. I ended up using the guide more than following her on the second day. The first day of the class seemed to go without a hitch and I learned a lot.

I really enjoyed the book and it helped me add to my knowledge and inspired me.

I normally used white drawing paper like Stonehenge and Strathmore Bristol 300 Vellum paper. After I read the CP Surface Drafting Film by Gretchen Parker, I would like to try and test on Drafting Film. This portrait is my first experience on the drafting film. Drafting film is smooth surface but if we applied light layering, it can accept more layer. Drifting Film can give vivid, vibrant colors. And also provide dark tone easily without heavy pressure . I like drafting film and Thank to Gretchen Parker for sharing your technique with detail step by step instruction.

This was my first experience using drafting film. I did not have the Prisma pencils so used similar colours in PolyChromos. I enjoyed the process and the result, although personally, I find it more easy to follow video turorials, it was a good introduction to drafting film.
