Steady on Gudrun - this is quite detailed. I like it! I am having the same trouble. It is getting dark so early and the light is fading fast. It is tricky to see colour's and tones properly. We can do it though.

Again, thank you for your kind comments. Stuart, I love my pencils. Also I got a 20x20cm sketchbook which is inspiring me. I have more lined up.

Doing a pencil portrait in a warm glow of a daylight bulb was much better. Obviously it is bad light for a decent photograph, even worse for a pencil drawing.
