Oof- that was humbling! I see a whole lot more practice in my future. Great lessons which are hitting right where I need help.

Hi all, I am having trouble getting the kind of tonal range you guys seem to be able to get. My 2B and 4B are VERY similar and the 6B is nowhere near as dark as some of yours. Do you change the amount of pressure applied based on the hardness of the pencil you are using? I used the same pressure on all four of the boxes and they look too....similar.

I still see a lot of the tooth of the paper showing through. Try varying the use of the point of your pencils and the side. If you use the point it will help to fill in more of the tooth so that you will see less white specks of the paper and achieve a darker value.
