ghosting (drawings)

10 to 15 gesture drawings on a single piece of paper. students start with 1 minute gesture drawings and capture the entire still life with charcoal, then wipe image away. then they analyze ghost image to real objects and look for areas of inaccuracy, then they draw another 1 minute gesture. this is repeated about 5 times then they evolve to 4 minute gestures for the remainder of drawings, wiping image away between each. After final gesture, they use an eraser to begin removing excess charcoal. they erase according to the cross contour.
