Doesn't that man have the Jaw of Doom? >sigh< .... Good job depicting his direct, intense gaze. Another strong part is the carefully considered part in his hair. I wonder, though, if you might be fighting the tooth in your paper somewhat. I can really see the grain of the paper as you bear down on the dark areas, less fluid lines. That's not a bad thing at all, it adds lot of character, but have you tried Strathmore paper? I had to switch over myself at one point. Sure is easier to find the Canson, though. This is a really nice study, good job.

Aye, it was one of those photos that as soon as you see it you know you must draw it.
Thank you very much for your detailed comments - i really appreciate it!

I don't know-- I don't use a lot of different pencil leads either-- HB is where it's at, in my book, a good choice unless I need a REALLY dark black, in which case go for an ebony. Which I don't mostly, because my pencils tend to be inbetween stages between nothing and inks, watercolor, or CG. I hate those H pencils-- those are only good for drawing on tracing or coated paper where you don't need a lot of unattatched graphite dust gunking everything up. With a smoother paper you might not have to be so impatient-- try doodling on a file card to see what that will do for you. You might also try a kneaded rubber eraser-- those are incredible for pinpoint erasing, or just lifting whole areas of graphite off so you can detail an area better.
Did you see this guy? He's got some really impressive technique. I envy him. [link]

Well, i'm glad i'm not the only one stuck almost exclusively on HB. It seems that most of the time when i see a really wonderful drawing here the artist usually lists four or five different pencils used. Then i look at my set and the HB's down to a tiny stub and the rest have hardly been touched. o.O
Ah yes, i've discovered the joy of the kneaded eraser. It's great for highlights in dark areas like hair - or leather jackets - and when you have to get just the right tiny highlight in an eye. I could probably get by with another pencil, but i'd be lost without my eraser.
That drawing you linked to is amazing - i'd have to say it's my favourite of his gallery. There are so many incredibly talented artists here. Personally, i'm in awe of ~GraphiteCat but it looks like she's no longer submitting her pencil work, which is a shame. If i managed to draw something that looked even half as realistic, i think i could die happy.

Most of the HB leads I go through are from mechanical pencils and lead pointers.
Thanks for the link to Graphite Cat. I'd have to agree that her technique is really amazing.
Here's another guy I found recently: his technique isn't as polished, but the composition and ideas are neat. [link]
