By the third (top) one, I lost my steam and so it’s the least finished.

All measure 9”x12”, are on Stonehenge Legion paper, and are in graphite. The bottom is Faber Castell Pitt Matt pencils. The center is graphite, Tombow Mono Homograph. The top is a mix of carbon and graphite, Staedtler Mars Lumograph.

They all have their pluses and minuses, with darks going for the Mars Lumograph, expressiveness with graphite, and lack of shine for the matt pencils. Happily, they all work with each other, unlike charcoal, and so I can imagine using these together down the road. But maybe not with another Sandpiper drawing, although it is pretty adorable.
