Thank you for your detailed description! Hope, that helps. Not very long time ago my technique began to improve, and every advice will add to the improvement. Again, thanx!

In response to the question regarding drawing. The Berol Graphite Pencil has the smoothest leads. You need a range of leads so you can "layer" your pencil shadings. Build the drawing (gesture, silhouette and construction) then start the layered shading with HB lead. Then go over that with 2B to darken slightly; then 4B for the darker values, etc. Finish by "glazing with HB. This will produce a beautiful, even drawing. Hello all!
