Two things I enjoy about this drawing were drawing the reference piece by eye with my Graphgear 1000 Pentel pencil and doing it on the Toned Tan sketch paper of my Strathmore book.
The reference is from a 1917 The People's Home Journal, that Karen Campbell picked up at an antique shop. Her Awesome Art School tutorial included using charcoal, but it has never been a method I enjoy. Graphite is my favorite.
