I'm still alive and doing stuff.
This paper has rejected my shading attempt. Lol...
Maybe I'll dig out and try the charcoal. Otherwise I'll just redraw it later. Don't like how the lead is going so setting that aside. But blending the colored pencil was mostly fine. ¯\_ʘ‿ʘ_/¯

Will update it later if I go at it with charcoal instead. Hell maybe I'll just fill it with black ink. Hah. •́ ‿ ,•̀
