The covering power of graphite sticks is fantastic! I am also impressed by the dark values they can lay down. With a little more time spent on the under-drawing, this would have been a more accurate portrait (I also wish I hadn't forgotten my eraser, yeesh). By starting with a thick outline of the profile, I was able to carve out the facial features. They look really strange - but I think I just need a little more practice with these (relatively) new materials.
