Thank you David, your compliment is a thrill as I so admire your work!

Thank you Matthew, it is good feedback for me with the use of the white pastel as it is a new technique which I've only applied to a couple drawings. The pencils I use are Staedler Mars. They are the best I've found, especially when you get into the softer, higher Bs. the tone is richer and graphite sheen is less of a problem, than with other brands. The white is a white pastel and I will have to look back to see who makes it. It was specifically recommended by Anthony Ryder (if you haven't checked out his book yet, do so, he is a master at drawing!!!)
