Tools of the trade

Hi

For anyone interested I invariably use Staedtler 4B Mars Lumograph pencil on board or heavy cartridge paper. There are a few exceptions, but generally that's what you'll see in my gallery. Having tried various other pencils in varying grades of softness, this is the one I found was the most versatile. Shading is done using cotton wool or a paper pencil and bits I don't want to keep are removed with a putty rubber.

None of this applies to the photographs.

thanks

Steven much as i like the photo's in your gallery, and please don't take offence
at my next comment but could you please put the camera down and draw more
