    This looks good Steve. The subtle shading is done ever so well. Lovely work, as always.

    Thanks, Jeanette. I’m not 100% pleased with it, but for a first go with carbon pencils, I’ll take it.

    This is really nice…the composition and tone values are wonderful. What a great photo reference. Did you enjoy working with the carbon pencils?

    Thanks, Marsha! Yeah, I really did like the carbon pencils quite a lot. I’ll definitely be doing more work with them in the future.
