When you project an image, you really only get the 'bones' of it. Because you are drawing from what is essentially light, getting finer details is really not possible. Well maybe it is - but not on my top of the line projector. So I am left to round out the image. I love doing this with portraits. From flat lines on a page to something more alive. These steps are really the first opportunity I have to figure out the feeling of the painting - from the gaze or the eyes, to the persons age, and manner. Also, drawing is fun.
