The Swiss in Tacoma

To create this sketch of the indian statue at the Swiss in Tacoma I referred back to my early use of the graphite pencil for drawing. I used Kimberly pencils, 2B, 4B and 6B. The H's drive me crazy but I do use and HB for preliminary sketching before getting into the real stuff with those B's. I also draw a lot with my eraser by laying down a value and then doing a reduction with the eraser to create textures. I added the ATM machine to show a relative size comparison to the subject matter.
