Graphite on series 500 bristol board vellum finish. Derwent Pencils HB, B, 9B 30 hours aprox.
I'm experimenting with different papers. This one is VERY rough. Not sure if I like the look, I don't feel like I have as much contol with this paper and smooth shading is hard to achive.
I took the reference photo after I smashed one of my watches with a hammer, It was much more interesting in pieces. I doubt I will be using this paper again, need to find a smoother one.
You know, despite your feelings on the rough paper, I think it really works. While the details aren't as crisp as I'm sure you wanted, the blurred details give a nice antique feel. Kinda like an old photograph, I like it!
