The first two studies I used a mechanical pencil. I actually used mechanical pencils a lot more than any other type of pencil.
I also used a blending tool for the shading on the faces.
On the last study I decided to use a charcoal pencil.
It wasn't that bad for not been using one in a long long time!
I did had trouble defining the his nose, charcoal doesn't really get erase either.
I tried the blending tool but it's an old one and it didn't do much either.
I definitely would like to keep studying sketches like this and buy new tools for a better experience.
