I have decided to dedicate a couple of weeks to exploring pencil tecniques.This peice is 16"x20" and done with Faber-Castell 2B&HB pencils. I did'nt use any blending stick or such with this peice, and tried to use pencil pressure to achieve the look I was hopeing for.I wanted a soft yet detailed feel to the drawing. I did'nt quite get what I was looking for but had fun doing it. Let me know what you think, and where I can improve. Thanks Rick
