I just stick with the one because the blackwing pencils are pretty versatile! if I was using a pencil set I would normally go with a 2b - maybe a h for the initial sketch and a higher grade like 4b for the super darks. you can do a lot with pressure though 😄
I think your lady is more believably human than the original. Fair play to Ingres though - his textiles are astonishing. I do have a suggestion for another study actually, which might tempt you. That's Augustus John's portrait of Wyndham Lewis (an etching), and there's a good image on Christie's website. Many thanks for another fascinating video.
The sketch, your gentle voice and the explanation is amazing! Love your content so much!!!!

silly question, but do you use different types of pencils for the sketch or just stick with one? (like different HB graphite pencils)
