Thank you Patricia and Sharon for the kind words.

Patricia, I used mechanical pencils with 2H and 2B leads for the whole drawing. The paper is Arches Hot Press 300 gsm. As for the smooth blending, I used blending stumps. I painted the background using 2B mechanical pemcil, blended with tissue and blending stump, then used a kneaded eraser to remove some of the graphite.
