CALLISTO graphite drawing

Here are a few progression shots of the drawing, Callisto. I use a 0.5mm mechanical pencil with 2B lead and a kneaded eraser on Mylar (polyester drafting film). I prefer to use line only to create the gradations relying on changes in pencil pressure rather than a blending stump.
