I love to attempt finding the lights and darks on the surface of a marble statue. Sometimes the lights and shadows are so subtle. I drew an outline of the marble face and then colored in entire face with white charcoal. I then blended to make it appear smooth. I started adding hints of shadow with soft black charcoal. I used a dry, soft paintbrush to blend the white and black charcoals.
