She hasn't seen it yet, but she will as soon as she wakes up ;-)

Very cool, I like that 'out-of-the-dark' stuff.  I still have my Staedtler Mars Lumograph pencils, they're awesome, and the softest in the set, the 8B, is an amazing pencil for getting deeeeeeeeep blacks.  Really amazing for graphite, it looks more like charcoal it's so black.

If you like doing dark backgrounds you should definitely buy a set of Staedtler Mars Lumograph (just in case you haven't tried them), even the smaller set has the 8B in it and there's a few set sizes out there.

Anyway, I'd better shut-up or the thread will go OT again.  No doubt Roxie will come along and say something though, just as soon as she's awake.  She got back just gone 3:00AM so no doubt a lot of Vickie culling went on last night!
