2B is good for shading, but B is better for light sketching and lighter values to convey reflected light.

Also, one thing I noted near the end was to make a more clear separation of values between light, medium and dark values for a clear contrast

This was a short week for me and I didn't get to the long poses as I had a character turnaround project to complete for the month!

I'm still not fully used to using the conte stick, but getting better at it. I'm getting a bit better at rendering reflected light

I was much more successful this week with the conte stick. The ability to use values consistently made it better than the smudge sticks I'd used a lot before. I found that practicing light, medium, and heavy values on a sphere helped me get used to it

Finally getting the hang of the conte stick. I messed up a few times mixing the tools, but finally got it right in the end. Figuring out how the tools interact with the page to create hard and soft edges are key

I've been shading with the conte pencil instead of using the blending tool for the last few sessions, it definitely takes some getting used to
