Hello all, from what I have seen so far, you all have great talent. I am a 35 yo male that just started drawing again after not drawing for 10 years... I have found my groove again, and amd turning out some art that I am truely proud of. This piece of art here took me 48 hrs to complete. I used every lead from 4h-9b, blending stumps, tissue, various erasers, 14x19 smooth bristol board, reading glasses, and patience. Theoriginal was donated to my kids school art auction to raise money for the school. I was the highest bid Item at a wopping $18.00. lol. The little girl that conned  her grandma into buying it was not going to let it go...
