I did this in a coffee shop one afternoon and then touched it up a little at home.
I drew this in a small pocket sketchbook that I always carry. I started out with an HB pencil that I had on me at the time. At home, I deepened a few of the values with 4b and 6b pencils. I used a little of a blending stub to smooth out some of the rough areas.
Since I was working in a small pocket sketchbook there was not a lot of opportunities to develop the detail.
I am very pleased with the results. If it was a larger sketchbook I know I could have done more. It takes as much talent to know when to end a project as the talent to do the project; if I kept working on it for another hour I would only have been able to make minimal improvements.
I hope you enjoyed seeing my work. Thanks for taking the time to look.
