    I have a question. (No rhyme intended).
    When you do your darker shadows and shading in general. Do you go with your gut or do you always have a clear structure. By going with your gut I mean having a general idea but well... going with your gut. ^^'

It will take some time to get mine to look like yours but thanks for the tutorial, cheers! Edit: you answered my question in the video but, I was wondering if you could give an estimate on how long you think this took? I am so impatient with my art, something I need to learn and watching you gives me sense of what kind of timeline, ya know. Ok, thanks for listening to me go on and on hehe.

When i draw i make just big blotches of lead on the paper and it either is way too dark or too light. it just looks like an entire grey drawing thats a mess but i cant go any darker to make any details. i have a 8B pencil and cant get dark enough.
