While the marines were taking a break, one of them lit up a cigarette (politically incorrect, I know, but it still makes for a cool subject!) I used a "General's Sketch & Wash #588" Pencil, which makes a good black line but is also water-soluble, so you can create washes with it to achieve a good tonal range.
The more I use this pencil, the more I like it...
More to come...

Thanks for such superb stuff--best wishes to you at Christmas and all with you.
Wow, your drawings and paintings are great. Love seeing the "every day" stuff. Don Smith posted a bit about you on wetcanvas and I had to check your blog!
Prayers for you and looking forward to seeing more of your posts to your blog.

As i said at Wetcanvas to Don Smith, very impressive! I like the "Generals Sketch & Wash #588" Pencil also and looking forward to see lots of those marvelous drawings.
Take care and best wishes to all.
Robin sent me your URL - no words just admiration for you and your work.
Please take care of yourself and know that our thoughts are with you and all the men and women who are out there.
Merry Christmas to you all!
I love the drawing of the marine underneath the heading "The Boys Are Back in Town." You captured "the look" that marines and soldiers have after being in combat. It is all in his eyes...
Merry Christmas!!! I hope you have a wonderful day. I know it is probably tough out there to have a "wonderful day", but God is good! Psalm 91, brother! Think of Linus reciting the passage of Jesus' birth in Luke Chapter 2. That always makes me smile... I love you.
