I really enjoyed this exercise - although it took forever! It's such a good way to 'draw' as it forces you to look so closely, and it's great that when you make a mistake you can just cover it up. There's something really blissful about working in this way for me - it's slow and deliberate but kind of messy, and sticky too - a good combination. I did the collage quite literally in a way - a direct representation of the different tones - without making it more abstract, because I felt the close up image itself was abstract (and elephant-y!) enough. It would be nice to incorporate some collage into my final drawing.
