    I love it. What’s your process? Is it graphite with a fixative and then pen? I’d be keen on a pen recommendation that doesn’t crap out with too much stippling, especially over powdery mediums.

      Thanks for the love! I use mechanical pencils, with leads HB to 8B. The stippling look actually comes from the paper which has a bit of tooth to it, giving it a rough feeling. For pencils I use Pentel Orenz and Staedtler.

        Oh that’s just 8B and not pen? Nice. The lack of shine fooled me; either that’s a good photo or I need to try some branded 8B. Thanks for the recommendations!
