Hey, first time poster, long time learner here. My assignment. Didn't have the time and patience to get the charcoal pencils out, so used a pencil for lay in, n3 grey marker for my shadow value, n1 grey for blending, and black pens for my darkest values. Looking at it, I was reaching for darker values matching my black value, and even layering the n3 a few times wasn't enough. But that's what I have, and it helped to show the fundamentals of the exercise, and turned out pretty charming in the end. Critique welcome.
