Experimented with a human sketch for a change! The paper’s texture was tricky, but layering graphite with my Graphgear pencils, clutch, wooden, and powder made it work. Might explore this as an oil study later. Always fun stepping out of the comfort zone!

A graphite sketch of a woman in profile with her head slightly bowed, wearing a loose garment. The shading is soft, with smooth gradients blending into the paper’s texture. Surrounding the sketchbook are Graphgear pencils, clutch pencils, Faber-Castell Pitt graphite, graphite powder, brushes, and an eraser.
