Stop for a few minutes and look at the other people’s drawings on your table. Now…discuss the following:
How accurate the drawing is,
How well they have used the grid,
Are there any areas that need to be adjusted? If so, offer suggestions as to how it can be enhanced/improved 15

16. Begin by looking for the palest colour in your mask

How has the next tone been generated with the exact same colour?
Now use the darkest tones and lots of pressure.
The last stage is to add white highlights.
