Thank you, Wendy! I’m gradually learning to go back a few times after the initial completion, to add in shading. Stepping away for a while seems to help to ‘see’. So far, I’m finding it easier to add in when using graphite vs colour. I think this might have something to do with the loss of tooth in the dark areas using coloured pencil. I’m sure this will improve as my technique becomes more refined.
This is great Suzanne! You have captured good details and ligth source.

Love the wrinkly texture here, Suzanne.
