I'm not really sure how I could help I'm afraid. I haven't drawn in a year so have kinda forgotten how I did things. Once I sit down and try it all comes back again but it's very difficult to tell someone how to do it. It's something I think you have to experiment with until you figure out what works for you. The only thing I can think of as a tip is that I do tend to start shading with a lighter pencil and then keep going over it with darker pencils until I'm happy with the contrast.

Thanks It was for a school assignment and I wanted it to be perfect. Didn't get a lot of time each week to work on it so lack of time + perfectionist meant that it took aaaaages to complete
