experiments with a 9b

[surfmonkey]

if anyone knows their pencils they would know that the 9b pencil is the softest darkest graphite pencil.....i usually use it for the shadows....i thought i`d give it a go and draw a whole picture with one and see how much of the pencil it uses...it took a third of the pencil to do this...this is a real quick one..probably an hour and a half to two hours tops....

That, for me, is the best drawing of yours to date that I've seen.
It's got it all, atmosphere, realism, balance, action...I could go on.

Totally awesome, well done you!
