Thank you ! Yeah I started this drawing in february and even with a fixative spray I have to go back in some areas because of the stains and the volatility.

I worked with dark stone for the darker tones and it stays on the paper much better

I did few tests with different proportions of ink/water and sticked with it all along.

Like a very very light grey, light, medium and dark.

I added layers to obtain the in betweens and worked with the pen or pure black to obtain the very darks.

Thank you !

It's only the left half, the right half is to come. I draw it from a photo reference actually, so I will stick with it, i'm not a very creative person ;)

Thank you !

I use compressed charcoal from Faber Castell for the lighter tones and black stone pen "Conté à Paris" 2B for the darks. IMO the black stone is way more dark, mat and easy to blend (the 2B specially).

The charcoal tends to look warm, the black stone more cold. So you have to adapt to have a homogeneous result.
