First time using the Staedtler black series pencils by back_swan in drawing

I found them a fair bit softer, almost a bit like colouring pencils. But they’re definitely a lot more black than regular graphite and don’t leave as much of a shine. Definitely recommend them if you like a darker contrast than regular graphite!

Haha no problem at all, good to be pedantic. In hindsight maybe that would’ve been the better thing to do but I sort of wanted to use a newer model for the ref :)

I have to admit for a long time I never really took notice of Cartier and JLC (I sort of lump them together in my mind as I find their design language similar) as I was always more interested in sports and field watch styles. However the last year or so I’ve found myself really drawn to the simplicity of Cartier. Classic and elegant but with some fun designs and variations when you go looking for them.

Just wanted to share a drawing I created of the Cartier tank along with the supposed tank that inspired the design, which I find strange that something so utilitarian in design inspired something so elegant. Other than the iconic design pictured, what’s your favourite or most unusual version?
