Portrait Drawing: Part 2, Sasha II

This is the second of three parts and it goes through my use of graphite, white chalk, and egg tempera to make this drawing.

I wouldn't advise it. In my experience gouache dries a little bit darker even when it's pure white. This is why I initially started using egg tempera.

Stephen, can matte gouache replace the egg tempera in the technique you are using?

Hi Stephen! Could you please tell me whether you generally allow the egg tempera to dry before going on to the next stage of applying chalk and using the stub? Also, I noticed that after you did that you applied more egg tempera to the drawing. Was any of the second application applied to the previously applied egg tempera and again should the first application of egg tempera be allowed to dry before applying the second hand? I have found that when I have not let it dry, it can become a mess. Of course, I am just learning to use the material. Advice?
