Each drawing above has been somehow colored, either during manual drawing itself or during digitzation later; all were handled as RGB in the end. Some, though done with an ordinary black pencil, were drawn on colored paper. Others, though drawn black on white paper, were scanned into the computer with a colored, overlapping backing, thus allowing the digitized image to be treated as colored. Some, on colored paper, were drawn with white charcoal, and some of those were also touched up with black pencil. In any case, the colored results can be examined by linking, through the thumbnail above, to the exhibit of drawings of that sculpture, and comparing the "colored" with the black and white images. In a few cases, the thumbnail above is not the only "colored" sketch of that sculpture, as a link to that work's exhibit will reveal. This site does not extensively explore the role of color in drawing, (for what it does explore, see Background Observations below), but on a few specifid web pages on individual drawings, it does mention color and, in some cases, show before and after stages of drawings that were digitally colored. One segment of Digitization and drawing below, presents links to three pages that each exhibits images of the drawing it deals with, at different stages in being digitally colored. Thus though all these images may be more interesting because of their color and its slight or extensive manipulation during digitization, in this site, they are merely presented as part of the statistical "pool" of well over a hundred images.
