Worked with 2 color pencils and 3B graphite on 3 ply, 500 Strathmore vellum, sized 23" x 29", for a study done from life. The final piece took about 16 hours for coloring and touch-ups.. 
Below is the final rough study drawing, followed by the tracing used to transfer the sketch onto the final paper.. Man, these photos came out crappy.. The colors in the final piece are better than what you see here.. Gotta get myself a new camera..
