PROCESS WORK
Preliminary pencil sketches identifying the relevant anatomy on the posteroinferior side of the liver. Since the watercolour wash technique is not as forgiving as carbon dust I wanted to make sure I understood the form correctly before starting so I completed a more detailed pencil study of the specimen.
