Hey everyone. This is the first drawing I have done using anything OTHER than 2B pencil. I experimented with graphite, and other hardnesses and softnesses of pencil. The darker areas didn't turn out quite to my satisfaction, there are some white spots on the paper that just wound't fill in. I am hoping that using a better quality paper will fix that. As this was a practice piece, I did not use my good paper. Comments are welcome :).
