As I've started a new job within the past week, I now have some motivation to get things done at home for my normal off-time hours. This is actually only a portion of the initial stages of a piece I'll be putting up on DeviantART.com within the next week or so, since it's really not worksafe (full frontal nudity warning intended for the complete work). 
The thing that I'm starting to like about the softer graphite pencils is that I can vary the weight of the line while I'm working on an illustration. As Frank Cho had explained in last year's Baltimore Comic Con panel, you can erase the lighter lines used for constructing the figure or scene, and even redo something that you have issues with. I used mostly a standard B softness pencil, except for a 2B and HB lead in the more fine details of the face (and ...uh, elsewhere) on the character herself. The completed piece will be approximately 10 × 8 inches, inked and digitally colored.
