Above are three 20-minute studies on 18 x 24" Japanese paper, all done with 8B graphite.
Below is one 15-minute study, done with graphite on 20 x 30" cartridge paper.
None of these perfectly replicates the texture/size/spontaneity of Conte crayon on big sheets of newsprint (see any entry prior to Sept. 2010), but I feel there are good prospects for both the cartridge paper and Japanese papers as materials with substantially better longevity- especially the Japanese papers.
