Pencil drawing - The Abyss

![ntopaz-image-0](https://artisteem.io/media/4a41aa6b-3d1d-4c70-aef9-6ec01ac3fe92)
Here is my pencil drawing of the sculpture The Abyss by Pietro Canonica, 1909. It was done on A5 paper and took me several hours to do. I used various pencils such as 4H, HB, 3B and 6B for darkest tones. I wanted to capture the smoothness of the sculpture so used a handmade blending stump using a pencil wrapped with paper and rubbing it against the tones in the drawing. It is quite a dark looking sculpture. I couldn't achieve the darkest tones so I used a fine liner pen to capture them..
