2B amd 4B leads and white charcoal pencil on Strathmore 400 gray toned sketchbook. The drawing is approximately 6 × 3.5. This started as a practice sketch because I am attempting to learn the nuances of drawing on toned paper.
I agree with Wassie on going darker. You should be able to get much darker
grooves with the 2B And 4B leads. that would really male that pumpkin pop on that grey toned paper. maybe lean a litter harder on the white pencil. having said that about the shading. the shape of the pumpkin is excellent.
