I just finished this protrait of a Wren in graphite on drawing paper. I like it. The sweet bird took me about an hour land a half to complete. I'm not to fond of the photo. If I offer it on Threadless, I'll take it again with better lighting.
I did enjoy the process and look forward to more works in graphite. Not sure of the next project. It's either a pride of lions in a tree or another family snapshop. I find I enjoy Strathmore's 400 series drawing paper. I still have plenty of watercolor paper if I want to use it but I like this paper. This image is 8 x 10 inches.
I used mechanical pencils for the most part in this rendering along with a #8B Faber Castell Pitt Graphite pencils and a Prismacolor black coloring pencil. Of could monozero erasers played a big part.

Thanks!
