Thanks
I just used colour pencil for this one, I also sometimes take resource to pastels and crayon, or pencil mixed with thin acetate tracer and other types of specific trace pens for details

It was just plain crayon on a standard A3 size sheet Then, the old swab technique with toilet paper over it, to lightly smudge the natural speckle effect of crayon away, into a blurrier nature.

I just advise to be careful with the blacks, they over-smudge, so dark colous are always the last thing I paint. If you happen to slip the hand or arm over heavy black it ruins the entire work :S

Work paid off. I saw another comment saying you used crayon. I'm surprised! I thought this was colored pencil. Well done indeed.
