I'm enthralled with everything about this drawing.... It's a drawing... yes? I need to pinch myself. I've been practicing water for a short time but was discouraged due to the outcome so I must thank you for inspiring me to keep moving forward. Love, loved this so much!

Hi Victor and thanks for the kind comment. It took 154 hours and it's only A3 size!!!
Here's a list of what I use:
Pencils: Faber Castell 9000 series B, 2B,4B,8B. I have three of each of these pencils, sharp, medium and blunt. Practice using various pressures to achieve different values. I use a Staedtler Mars Lumograph 8B (for black backgrounds). Tombow mono mini eraser, scalpel (to cut Tombow to a sharp edge) Putty eraser or Blu Tack, Small & medium tortillions and blending stumps, Donegan OptiVISOR jewellers magnifiers, Bristol board 250gm.
I use the grid method. When I'm working on the drawing I'm pretty much doing it grid by grid. My reference is on a computer screen and whichever grid square I'm working on is zoomed into on the screen. That way, the values that surround it don't distract me and I can really concentrate on every detail. I spend quite a while studying the grid square I'm about to draw before working on it. This get's my eyes tuned into the values and composition within that section.
Do a Google search for Edward H. Adelson. There's a chess board illustration he's done that demonstrates how a value will appear to change depending on what is next to it. Square A and B are the same value in this illustration.
Hope this helps.
