I like this technique of drawing very much and has a weird sensation with the sound of chalk on raw paper! I love this. Well done Laura :)

I like your choice of topic, Laura; skillfully etched, too. There was a time when I did lots of pen drawings in B&W. Congratulations on this fine win. Regards // paul
