“Zoo Life” April 2018

This is my first attempt to draw on black paper. It is really hard for me. I can’t just look and draw what I see. My head doesn’t want to decipher the background as anything but dark, so finding the boundaries of dark and light in the image keeps jumping back and forth in my head. Does that mean I’m dark paper dyslexic? If I finish this drawing, I will immediately do another one on black paper to see if it gets any easier…
