Ok, so I'm going to be honest and tell you that this #dailysketchext is not my most favoritest thing that I've ever made, but I did want to show it to you because I wanted to highlight the medium. Red conté is what you see in those old Leonardo Da Vinci sketches that are so masterfully done. I love this medium. It can be used the way I used it here or it can be used on medium toned paper (like a grey or tan color) and then highlights can be added back in white for a really cool effect. It's usually kind if expensive, relatively speaking, but usually you can find broken cases or pieces of it at art supply stores for cheap to start out with. I definitely recommend trying it out for yourself. It's fun to draw with things that Da Vinci drew with :-)
