Awesome artwork indeed! and great to see some one using the graphitint pencils as i was intrigued by these and wondered how they faired..your Ellie is magnificent and i feel the expert use of graphitint lends itself superbly to the subject matter creating a lovely intriguing piece of art...super work!

I used to use the Derwent Dtudios, but I found they wernt as nice a quality as the Faber Castels, little things like sharpening them (the derwents would snap the graphite inside easily) and they'd crumble. But they're still one of the best out there, all depends on what feels right This is a great drawing, one of the best colour pencil drawings I've ever seen. Graeme Base would love the elephant. Very simmilar style to his by the way, I like it
