Thank you I was trying out the 5 pencil technique on it. It's a really cool method cause it keeps all the textures of pencil that I love, but still remains smooth from a distance the tapered stroke can be a bit tiring for my hand though so it takes a while to do. I'm still getting use to it. So far so good though It's really cool to see tonal range in my graphite pictures- I use to be super contrasty which isn't great XD I need to finish this when I'm settled in my new flat. It's been a pretty wild few years for me since I started this ^^;
