      got some gray craft paper (125gsm) to try on. Not sure what the white pencil is in this tutorial (https://academy.ahrstudios.com/realtime-tutorials/dc1/) . It looks like chalk but I was having trouble layering chalk on graphite, so I’m not sure.
      I was having issue doing the outline without grid so decided to use grid.

        • very good Taylor

          • @cheryl This is very impressive. Very good shadows, nice glass and socket looks really metallic. I’m impressed. On grey craft paper was probably a challenge. I used a gelly roll pen on some areas’s on mine. BTW got the LANGUO erasers and they work very good. Thanks again for the tip. 👏

            • @pacific8118 Not sure if “craft” paper is the right word but it’s colored A4 paper they advertise for crafting. It actually works pretty well imo. Definitely a good cheaper alternative to strathmore toned paper. The proper name is “Quill thick paper 125gsm”

              Glad to know you like the languo erasers, check out the mono zero style erasers too 😂 They are pretty good too but not as small as mono zero

              Cheryl, this looks beautiful! 😊 The transparency of the glass is excellent, and you’ve done a great job capturing the subtle reflections. The white pencil used in the tutorial is **Pitt Pastel**. It works very well over graphite for those bright highlights.
              I also think using the grid was a good decision if it helped you get the outline more accurately. Excellent work, and it’s great to see you experimenting with toned paper!
