Here is my first attempt at the mushrooms. I started out with too much pressure, and then my previous ellipse experience kicked in and I remembered my shoulder and ghosting technique. I realize a light touch is good for a preliminary sketch, but should I be adding some more weight to the lines in this exercise? I have a direct light on the page for my photo, and I used an HB pencil and one of my new blue col-erase pencils. I really like the feel of the col-erase pencil on the page; it tends to grip more instead of slide, so I feel I have more control.
