Thanks Virginia. I took a couple more happy snaps of my current setup as a what-the-heck.
First you see a picture showing the clamps that hold the wood strips on either side of my 1/4″ plexiglass drawing board. They get moved around depending on where I want the mahl stick to sit when I draw.
Second is a bit of a closer view of the drawing stuffs collecting on a little wooden stool I keep near me. The one thing that I think is worth noting is the wooden block with holes drilled in it and different pencil softnesses written by the holes. It’s handy when I want my 2B and don’t want to search around for it.

Glad to have you taking a look-see Dianna I’m still at a bit of a crossroads with this one, not really sure what it will end up as. I’ll be away for a couple of days – I sometimes find that the separation coupled with the unique view of a piece you get from looking at it when posted as a WIP really helps the organic process of drawing. That viewpoint here on WC is a big reason I do WIPs, TBH. My threads don’t generally get much attention from many folks, but the remove when it comes to seeing the drawing differently is very handy and truly helpful to me :thumbsup:

Thanks for that Anthony

I’ll take the drawing a bit further in its current direction before revisiting the crepuscular rays that are apparently fading from view.
