Description So this one is finished. I am mostly very happy with it. I learned a great deal and while I have issues with parts of it, I think I have taken a leap forward in understanding the possibilities of graphite.

18x24 70lb paper
2H to 8B Koh-I-Noor graphite pencils
9B Koh-I-Noor woodless pencil (this is NICE!)
Tortillions, q-tips, sandpaper, felt, chamois

Digital camera to create image, contrast etc adjusted in Photo Paint.

Border added digitally.

Thanks. It took between 40 and 50 hours spread over about 2 months. Something clicked in my head while doing this. I hope it sticks around

I think the only secret to share on this one is how much I studied the reference photo. I looked at it so much that I could see it with my eyes closed.
