Tonal values do not lose importance by reversing light and dark contrasts-white on black is just another way to express unique value relationships. Here are several methods of reversal images. |
| The left one is a simple contour in white India Ink. |
| The cub is an example of "negative" value. Switch the black and white areas and you'll have the drawing as it would appear on a white background. |
| The twirling girl was a white background image that was inked around the figure to suggest "positive/negative" rendering. |
| The dancer is a white ink and white charcoal contour and value drawing. |
| The helmet is a combination of white charcoal and white colored pencil. |
| All sketches are 18"X24" formats. |
Without "contrast", there is no value definition. In
