What a great image Russell, so striking and I love the rich darkness of those pencils.

Wonderful effect Russell. I think I recognise that nearest little chap!

I love carbon pencils - did you enjoy using them? Your results suggest so!

Thank you Lewis, Carole, Fran, Val, Marjorie, Robert and Margaret, Yes Robert I did enjoy using them but I don't think the paper i used was perhaps the best, any suggestions? You have a good memory Marjorie!

So I did Russell, glad you bought some. Well they have given this superb group of people tremendous depth and what an imposing drawing, quite stunning.

Oh yes, paper! Well there are so many brands to explore where do you start?. I've been using Strathmore tan and gray mixed media paper recently. It is quite smooth but it takes pencil rather well. I've always liked working on a toned background so this suits my needs. Amazon with next day delivery.
