This was drawn with a 5mm mechanical pencil with 2B lead, on a 8½" x 11" High Bright (87) smooth finished paper. Original drawing: I think this drawing is horrible. I didn't take my time, I have visible lines and it just isn't my best. This was the second drawing I did after learning the blending technqui. You can see again I'm struggling. But I think I've learned to take it more slowly. This drawing took me 6 hours.
