I really love the second WIP the most Stormie.

Hear me out, I used to use only a 2B, but once I started using other grades, I wondered why I had waited so long. True not many folks use the super hard pencils I do, but I would suggest experimenting with a softer pencil, if only because the softer it is, the easier it is to blend it. :) I would suggest the 3b, to a 4 b, just for playing around and monkeying with some blending possibilities. You may find it easier to have more then one grade, or at least two grades as I do.

On the tools, I sometimes use a Q-tip, those tortillions like you got, and my favorite, the paper stumps. The stumps if you rub it on a fingernail file you get a soft end, and they are easier to clean then the tortillions.
 
This one overlaps a little, you can see the blurry doubled spots at the 3rds... Gotta fix it up before I'm happy with it. Taken with a good, ol' fashioned Film Camera.

i.e. never.

By the way Anvil, I'm not-commenting on your photos not because they aren't very good (they are) or because I don't look at them, but because I'm such an illiterate when it comes to photography that I shouldn't be judging others' work - just thought you should know :)

It's all good buddy, I just like to share! :)

Like Stormie, I don't know shit about photography except point, and shoot! That being said, this is a gorgeous mountain top, and from my amateur eyes, a damn fine photo. <3 You get to visit some beautiful places! :)
 
Fixed it... Don't know if you all can see the difference...
