This piece is a little different for me in that I'm doing it in graphite. Yes, graphite! I felt it was time to broaden my art horizons (and I just wanted to see if I could do it! ;-))
It's 11" X 14" on bristol using an HB mechanical pencil using the "circulism" technique. That is, I'm laying down multiple layers of tiny circles creating a "chain mail" of values. It's almost like stippling with a pencil. You can create infinite value transitions and subtle gradients with this technique. I think I might like this graphite stuff!
More later!
