Glazing Demonstrations
These are teaching demonstrations that began as shaded drawings in colored pencil on paper.  The drawings were scanned and then digitally glazed with several transparent layers of color applied over the base drawings using Photoshop.  The different color iterations are created by slider adjustments to individual layers made for each category of light and shadow.
