    I must admit that I did’nt finsh the project. Other thing got in the way. But I have the downloaded images and plan to get back to it. Shading has been one of my weak areas.

      that’s okay Nuella. Take as much time as you need. Post your final drawing on the forum when done so I can help you with your shadings 🙂

    What a surprise! Learned a new technique. Didn’t know the teardrop blender can save you so much work/time in shading. I had to be careful not to make a mess with the graphite powder. It was very interesting and I learned a lot from Nolan. Had good result too, even though I am a beginner. Thank you, Nolan. You are a great instructor.
