Fantastic work!  Curious to know what materials you work with?  I like to use acid-free gray paper with Polychromos monochrome pencils from Faber-Castell.  I've got a handful of drawings on here--some of the same subjects, too!  marstonmac.deviantart.com

Nice work... love the toned paper work.  Thanks for introducing yourself.  Always love to see what others are doing.  I like to use smooth or vellum bristol paper with mechanical pencils, clutch pencils, no. 2 pencils and some shading tools, kneaded eraser... etc etc.. standard fare.

Amazing! I LOVE her on that show! One of my favorites. I used to joke all the time that she would have as big a problem with me as she did, Elly (the not liking men)

Thanks, Rick! I just happened across a photo of granny and thought it would be a nice addition to the collection. I should find a photo of Jed too.
