A Brief Encounter pencil drawing

Stats: A3 Bristol Board (so a bit smaller than my usual size).... 4H, H, HB, B, 5B & 8B wooded pencils.... HB, B, 2B, 3B & 4B 0.5 mechanical pencils.... cotton buds..... Kneadable eraser.... .......................... I think it took me between 50 & 60 hours, but I'm not so sure because I put it aside for 9 months....................... This is the scene from the 1940's film Brief Encounter where the two main characters, Laura Jesson and Dr Alec Harvey played by Celia Johnson and Trevor Howard, first meet and he removes a piece of grit from her eye.
